1993 Honda Del Sol Engine Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What are the steps and considerations for disassembling and overhauling an engine on 1993 Honda Del Sol?

  A: If the engine is to be dismantled and worked on then it is much easier if it is on removable engine stands, usually these can be hired cheaply from equipment hire yards; however the flywheel/drive plate should be removed before mounting. If a stand is not available then other ways of disassembling the engine is to block it on the floor, though much more care is needed to avoid accidents like tipping or dropping it. When buying a rebuilt engine, all extra accessories must be initialized before installation on the new engine such as the alternator together with its brackets, power steering system and brackets, emission control systems, distributor, spark plug wires and spark plugs, water pump, thermostat and its housing cover, bypass pipe, fuel injector and pump, intake/exhaust systems, oil filter, engine mounts, clutch and flywheel or drive plate among others. While disassembling these components, one needs to be very careful so that he can retain the installed position of gaskets, seals, spacers, pins, brackets, washers, bolts, wiring, other small parts among others during the reassembly of similar components. If one obtaining a short block where the engine block, crankshaft, pistons, and connecting rods are included, the cylinder head(s), oil pan, and oil pump will also be required. For a complete overhaul, the engine must be disassembled and internal components removed in a specific order: the intake and exhaust manifolds, valve cover, timing belt covers and bolts, timing belt and sprockets, rocker arm assembly and camshaft, cylinder head, water pump, oil pan, oil pick-up tube, oil pump, piston/conect rod assembly, rear main oil seal retainer, crankshaft, as well as main bearings. In order to perform the disassembly and overhaul, make sure that basic hand tools, small boxes of parts, scrapping gasket, reaming ridge, vibration damper puller, micrometers, telescopic gauge, dial indicator set, valve spring compressor, cylinder hone, cleaning tool for piston ring groove, electric drill motor, tap and die set, brushes including wire and oil gallery brushes and cleaning solvent are available.
