Ok, I'm usually pretty good about working on my car, but today I couldn't do what I intended to do. I've come to the conclusion that my hands are just too big. After killing most of the day taking the skin off my hands I finally called it quits. Today was supposed to be the day I installed the Hondata gasket and Mugen thermostat and Samco hoses. So here I am asking for anyone with experience or otherwise small hands in which I can tell them what to do.
I'm looking for volunteers who could lend a hand next week after work or Sunday the 27th. I'll be leaving tomorrow morning for VA and returning the 21st.
What I can offer... beer, food, my gratitude. Any takers?

 

I think Jim might of done this but wasn't sure if he completed it. I think he had the same issues you did. Sorry I never replaced that type of gasket. Maybe under the hood forum might help you out.

 

I've done those before, they do suck. I'd help you out but i'm 2 hours away. I might do it if no one else will.

good luck, Matt

 

I could help you out if you want, havent done a hondata gasket but I have one at my house that I wanna install to. might as well jump in the middle of your process and learn. hopefully sunday wont be to bad for me since we are going out for my birthday saturday. Ill let you know though not sure if family is coming over for dinner or anything.

Well, just got abck from VA. I think I might be able to get to the thermostat and install it, along with the lower radiator hose. As for the the upper hose and gasket, I might just wait and have fun driving my S in the mean time.
