Great Work Tenblade, this mod works a lot better w/ the other cooling mods like: Mugen Tstat, F-switch, and Spoon Radiator Cap if you don't already have them.

The labor is intense but it's a great mod. Makes the S feel brand new all over again and less prone to heatsoak.

Nope...never had a CEL come up and still haven't a year later.

As long as you follow the instructions Marcucci laid out, and use blue Loctite on the manifold bolts, you should be fine.

4 hours?? woah. it's a "cheap" mod insofar as it doesn't really cost that much, but wow, that's a long install time. the final price for those who pay someone to install this thing is gonna be well into the $300+ I would assume.

still tempting though...

so from my understanding, the new gasket also blocks some of the coolant from entering the intake manifold?

is this a... (gasp) Honda design flaw? or what's the trade-off?
