Important

A 97 Honda V-tec 4 cyl is an interference motor?

1.6L?

technically yes, but very unlikely that the valves hit the piston unless it broke at high rpm.

the non vtec cam profile doesn't have enough lift to make them make sweet sweet love in the combustion chamber.

Maybe... Owner said V-tec 4cyl. The info I found says 2.2l for the car it is in. Owner is totally clueless
 
I have to drop the Princess off at Midway Airport on my way to Redbird. I will have the camper. Any logistical suggestions? Any Ideas where to safely drop the camper at 4:00 am? Is there an oversized lot next to Midway that I could park on?
 
Last night we decided on a name for our baby girl. I have had this name in my head for probably close to a month and can't get it out. We finally said it is going to be it. We decided on Elizabeth Grace.
 
Speaking of Honda's..... My car is going to be done in probably a week and a half but one of the things they are replacing is a tire. They said it got damaged. So now I will have a tire with zero miles and three others with 20,000. Probably going to get the old tire examined to see if there was any damage. If not, I will probably have tire barn put it back on. I drove about 10 feet after the accident.
 
F that, tell the insurance company that you need both tires on that axle replaced or you risk a skid hazard.
 
Yup!

Your tires 'need' to be the same size on the drive axle.

I'm sure that the local tire place could back him up on this.

they'd like to sell two tires.

but seriously. i wouldn't run two differing size tires on the drive axle of a FWD car. Think of the diff man, think of the diff.

so if they want to be super cheap asses they need to put that junk on the rear axle matched with your deepest tread tire, but then that completely hoses your tire rotation scheme.

so screw them, she hit you, it's their responsibility to make you whole and have a well kept, well maintained car like you had before, and that means they're buying two tires.
 
This is my insurance company sayign this (because her insurance company wanted me to pay for 10% of my repair costs as they said I was 10% at fault for the accident somehow) and I already said I wanted a matched pair up front, they said no. The body shop it going to rotate the new one to the back axle and give me the old tire. I will take the old tire to Tire Barn (where I got the tires) and have them inspect it. If they say it is fine, it will go back on and I will keep the new tire for a spare or sell it or something. The "damaged" tire is still holding air and was probably moved 20' total since the time of the collision. There was very little rubbing on the tire, it looks very much cosmetic on the tread damage to me.

I won't sell somebody 1 tire unless the other tire is almost new.
