Looks like an oil squirter. They go on the bottom side of the cylinder in the block and squirt oil at the bottom of the piston to cool it.

Well, just a quick update for those that didn't see the car on the flatbed at the dyno day when we pulled it in.

It's now at DB and that will be it's resting place for the time being. I spoke with Danny a bit and it sounded like he was thinking 2 weeks before the motor got pulled and then we could diagnose it and order parts.

The waiting begins...

^Will do, thanks man :)

Might need something in the future when I need to pick up the car. I am buying a 2nd car this week though, probably this 95 accord I am looking at.

2-3 grand.

Basically the biggest thing is something decent in snow and more or less as reliable as a car can get for that price.

Honda's fit pretty well into that category.

Rocking this for the foreseeable future.

The awesome thing...there is a bunch of maintenance things that need to be done and i need new front rotors/pads, pretty much all fluids tons of gaskets, new axels etc etc.

My mechanic buddy got me a quote and the list was long and i was like, damn it this is going to suck, probably like 1000 worth of parts...it was like 150 bucks, shit for this car is so damn cheap, lol. And my buddy is going to help me fix it all in my garage next weekend, so it should run like a champ after that :)
