Work continues on this rubbish Civic we bought off Facebook. In this episode we focus on the B16 engine, getting it ready to drop into the filthy nugget so we can drop some mad hectic FWD skids.

that rubber thing in your spark plug well was a rubber from inside a spark plug socket. they hold the end so it doesnt fall out of the socket when you lower it down the hole.
don't bother, whoever is in charge of shipping can't read... you won't get your packages, but they'll take your money...
N/A - wouldn't hurt to do a bit of porting tho
@Bret Jefferson have to settle for an adopted brother from another mother im 35 myself
@A design for life if I wasn't 35, I'd ask you to adopt me...immediately hahaha. And yeah I've met a couple here in Southern Murica. Get your willy righteous mad
Please everyone! When you put a new oil filter on, put some oil in it so your car isnt running dry for a few seconds.... thats all it takes for premature wear
Last Star Fighter synopsis FTW!! Before computers, though, it was an arcade/console game. Shape shifters, androids, flying cars, and more. Definitely a cult Sci-Fi B movie.
Where did the old spark plugs go????
Its a 30min add for auto parts
tendency to fall out.
Hahhahhah, when you were putting the rocker cover on , the toes then the tongue 😂😂😂
Moogs face @11:12 "I don't have a Saab anymore man, c'mon dude."
and then we can se if this adds some unicorns to the car. With you the best ... ket it going! From Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I didn't know Marty could sing so well.
FYI, The Last Starfighter was actually one of the first movies to extensively use CGI for the special effects. Star Wars not so much. Awesome bit of 80's Sci-Fi.
I'm a skunkman??
11:10 was so brutal, Moog's brain had to reboot.
Loved that movie as a kid...
I love the show and think you're both very talented and intelligent people. However I cringed at the beginning. Why kick a man there? That's not very nice.
If its not too late a type r oil pump might be nice while its out
My local dentist drives a new civic type R with his company on the side
So telling folks not to lube their spark plugs? Ever hear of galvanic corrosion? Antiseize compound should be used for sure when installing a steel spark plug into an aluminum head. Still a fan...keep it up boys!
dont dry gasket your oil filter!
Just watched The Last Starfighter for old times sake. Pure cheese balls!
That rubber bit looked like the bit in the spark plug socket to hold the plug in the socket
I read the Last star fighter And loved the book so much as a kid it gave me a life passion for books, the movie was good to
Is it bad that I like the vlog style videos better than the produced ones? It feels more personal and you get to see “normal” interactions.
getter done kids .I will watch till the end .want to see end product I think its gonna scream
Hey guys! Why don't you do some work on the cylinder head like making a biger intake and exhaust port. Biger cams and give degree on the valves. It will be a really fun video and then we can se if this adds some unicorns to the car. With you the best ... ket it going! From Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Whats the name of the song in the intro?
Did you put your plug in a toilet roll for that shot when you were installing them?
Those offroad tires are going on the Honda right?
Will we be seeing the Gemini again? 👀
Why everytime we gotta listen to how inferior to the rest is Honda. Because that's complete bulshit!!! I wanna see Subaru makes 200hp on a 2.0L NA engine. Hell, slightly tuned K20z3 makes over 215 whp again NA engine, slap a Turbo and that 2.0L will outperform any Subaru 2.0l engine. How about new Gen Honda iVTEC Turbo compare that to a Subaru and see which engine is more durable and reliable and capable of making more power. No need to hear from you, It Is the Honda engine just better build.
Should have done another MX-5

I loved that movie.
0:01 martys balls now need to go "IN THE BIN"
Loved the last star fighter. Plus reminds me slightly of Enders game.
'You have been recruited to protect the Line against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada', or something like that. I prefered the book, tho.
Ah the old spark plug down the toilet paper tube CGI Magic
The “POV” paper towel roll from in the engine putting in the spark plug and going into the ziplock bag is great 😂 . Excellent cinematography
Kicked the Balls so hard it shut his mic off
I’ve totally seen that movie!
Whats the name of the song in the intro?
What happened to the music? Did I miss something?
You should lube the oil filter gasket
11:10 was so brutal, Moog's brain had to reboot.
I love you guys so much i won't even bother telling you about all the stuff you missed. thanks for the laughs.
I would like to see a few upgrates on the engine, like cams , maybe an improved head for some higher revving tbh.
spark plug insertion action shot @ 12:49. +10pts for the effort. was that a toilet paper tube?
Great content once again! Please do a Nissan Pulsar or Primera soon! And a 1.6 Nissan Sentra/Sunny. You guys would probably like how torque-y that engine is. Stay safe you guys!!
The Alpha Tauri ⛳
I always said it in my head, he looks like Borat
Loved the last star fighter. Plus reminds me slightly of Enders game.
Something is very odd in your new videos.... where's the background music and funny editing?
That cam shot down the dunny roll, nice!
When this build is over they should drive the whole care into a giant bin.
right at the end, whats that steering wheel for and the matching head gear?
Why would you not clearance the bracket before the intake
haha my mind went right is that the Last StarFighter song ? 3 sec later CONFIRMED! hehe
Last Star Fighter lol nfw!! That's a awesome old times movie from the 80's. 👍👍👍👍🍺
Why does the "Last star fighter" sound exactly like "Enders Game"
I miss the days when you had to jack up te car to change the radio head unit
I got one of those spoon facemasks, they ft really nicely, almost as nice as a turboed b16
spark plug insertion action shot @ 12:49. +10pts for the effort. was that a toilet paper tube?
Do this to that wrank old rocker cover. ircloud.info/get/fy-lm-h-y/ZmyzqGWDiKmAeaY.html&
“Greetings, Starfighter! You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada.”
Can’t believe no one is going to mention that all the fiddling around cleaning the spark plug wells, that the engine is on a stand turn it upside down!, Painful to watch. Finally gets the idea of using the stand for the oil filter and does it the wrong way up...I guess watching a German engineer work would not be as entertaining
Super advanced tip: Lay down some cardboard so the floor don't get full of oil
Yeah my Honda civic couldn't have been built without the angle grinder it's the number 1 tool for Honda mods 🤔😁🤣
Is the rubber part off the inside of a spark plug socket
You forgot to oil up the seal for the oil filter
Hey boys I know it's a Longshot that you will actually read my comment but I just wanted to say.....licking that bolt...you guys get progressively funnier with age and I've been watching your videos for the last 10 years. Give her a full send boys!
The paper towel/tp roll for the spark plug inserting camera shot was hilarious and professional at the same time
Ha! I actually recognized that as the theme from The Last Starfighter. Great movie.
How come you didn't install some wilder cams while you had the engine that far stripped down?
anyone has had the EXTREME displeasure of changing an Oil Filter on an 85-88 Nissan Maxima... I've STILL got a scar or two from THAT monstrosity!!!🔥🔥🔥😠😠😠😭😭😭 ~
I was going to say, cheap forged rods, pistons, head studs and a Frankenstein eBay turbo kit
I'd love to see MCM one day mod the hell out of a fans' car. But a fan who has a really abnormal car to mod. Like a Kia Picanto or something lmao
couldnt you think of a bad movie to ruin the name of?
The last starfighter reference was kick ass but can you name the planet they went to in the movie after he was picked up from earth?
Moog's mic is out.
You know you have to make an "in the bin" t-shirt now right....
The last Starfighter was epic! You could name the civic, Centauri ( the name of the guy that shows up to collect you if you beat the high score ) as I remember they fly past a cop in this futuristic car and the cop's speed radar goes up to the limit 😁 🚔 🚓
time for the civic *"kicks eachother balls"*
I saw him take the spark plugs out and immediately said "IN DA BINNN" to myself, guess where they went?? 😂
5:34 lol I cant stop laughing
"That's the end of the distributor lead" It could also be the little rubber bits that go inside a spark plug socket that hold the spark plugs when you remove them. They have a tendency to fall out.
So the car market is obviously different in Australia. And I know you guys don't get the appeal of the Civic. But at least in the USA, the Civic is one of the best cheap cars to modify. There are other cheap cars here that are fast. But they handle like shit & get like 5 MPG. And there are other cheap cars that handle well that have zero tuning potential or very little aftermarket support. And this is another thing, You guys have done a lot of swaps from other makes into different cars. Not all, but in most USA states it is illegal to put an engine from a different make into a different car. But with Honda and the Civic especially, you can put just about every engine from Honda or Acura in there, pass emissions, get good gas mileage and have fun building a car from humble or crumbled beginnings. It's a great first car. If you get into cars, it's cheap and relatively easy to repair or to modify. There is a lot of aftermarket tuning support available from companies like Hondata, Hasport, Skunk2, Hybrid Racing and many others. And a lot of local communities and an enormous pool of used and new parts available. And in the process you can make new friends and talk about mad car things. Or just support one another. Like you guys do. So this is my THESIS on why the Civic is a great car. Especially the older ones.
All this time and money when you could've had more powerz and reliability with a stock CR-V K24 engine.
2:05 lol you can see the bottom if the bag being open
"That one ain't never torquing up, someone's had a go at that before." ...that statement can be used for many things in life.
@Jon Caba you ok hun?
Hi Peppa pig Peppa pig Peppa pig 0 Peppa pig
The Skunk FITS!!(some GRINDING required)😜 Moog: "Easiest Oil Filter change ever" Yeah.... I'll bet the Engineers said the same - when the Engine was OUT of the Car!!! 😖😠 (OK, they're not the hardest Filter to get at. But on a HOT Summer Day, after the Car has been in line, idling for about 20 minutes - you'll get SCORCHED!! 🔥🔥) Side note - if anyone has had the EXTREME displeasure of changing an Oil Filter on an 85-88 Nissan Maxima... I've STILL got a scar or two from THAT monstrosity!!!🔥🔥🔥😠😠😠😭😭😭 ~ BEHIND the Engine, UNDER the Exhaust Manifold, AGAINST the Firewall, with SEVERAL Hoses and Pipes. Barely enough room to SQUEEZE your Arm in, against that 1000 Degree Manifold!! MERCIFULLY, by 1989, Nissan moved the Filter to an accessible spot!!
That bit of rubber was the insert from a cheap spark plug socket!
Cant wait for the dyno vid
“ does this fit my Honda?” Skunk2 Intake Manifold : NO. 😂😂
this reminds me of Super Gramps
In a bin , i love it 😂😂👍
disrespected dentist
Plot twist! the cars name is BIN
How much money could they make by selling MCM in the bin parts lol ADM Civic parts
the rubber bit was a retainer bushing from a sparkplug socket. Kinda like that installation tube NGK sent you, but inside the socket. Somebody has probably already said this in the comments but I haven't looked.
"That one ain't never torquin' up." Keep an eye on "that one." I can kind of tell you guys aren't entirely convinced and I have learned to expect that reaction from non-Honda guys. I think once the car is on the dyno and see the result you will be happy with the power.
15:12 why didn't you put oil around the rubber seal
That battery air compressor is awesome!
Me and my brother can do it in June screwup in a Honda Civic in one day
The Last Starfighter! I own it lol, remember watching it as a kid.
Cool video...I will possibly be very disappointed when a video comes without "In the Bin!" Look forward to hearing when fans yell "In the Bin!" when they see you guys at events :-)
