I DID get another oil pump cable so I'm going to fit that and see if it makes a difference….the one I have from T2 racing doesn’t adjust so the carbs and the pump are perfectly synchronized...it’s close but the pump seems just a little behind the carbs and I don’t think anyone would want that.
I’m doing some cross continent traveling and have a chance to update progress. This time it’s all about the plumbing.
Going to hopefully get rid of this horrible mess…
First of all this….clearly does not connect….
...to this….
I realized that you need a new OEM thermo sensor in the shape of this guy…37750-PCI-004….also common to the ’86 Honda Accord. Whatever works.
Plugged it in to the thermostat housing and thru some heat on it and that temp gauge responded
Before I did that…installed a new OEM thermostat…
And the o-ring…
…first nicely around the edge of the thermostat..
Expansion tank had a bath…

Silicon hoses came from T2 Racing…via Web!ke for 8255¥…
And they compare with the originals very well…
Only this one needed a trim…
I transferred the extra loops of rubber onto the new pipes.

Decided the old radiator…
…would be best replaced with this…again from T2 Racing for nearly 30,000¥
