84 pain in the butt Accord
 

I bought an '84 Honda Accord at an auction, an auction is always a gamble,
only paid $200.
I like Honda's they are fun to drive, economical & comfortable. I had
forgotten how much I dislike working on them.
This one ran when I bought it, turned out it ran well enough to get into the
sales ring and back to it's parking spot. I changed the fuel filters &
cleaned the spark plugs then it ran well enough to have a serious miss/
backfire.
A compression check showed there was a problem, so now I'm taking the head
off. I had honesty forgotten just how much there is to do in taking the head
off an older Honda.
No more older Honda cars for me...
Just had to vent somewhere.

(still working at taking the radiator off so I can get a wrench on the lower
air line from the exhaust manifold & hoping I have marked the five thousand
vacuum hoses well enough so I can get the sucker back together if the
problem is not too expensive.)
