PROJECT BACKMARKER Part 2: Working on the Engine Bay

By Aaron Gaghagen

Last time we gave you the rundown on the beginning status of Project Backmarker, our super clean 4th generation Civic Hatchback. Now we start the work and, of course, we start in the engine bay. If you remember our last video, then you know we have already yanked the tired old SOHC and are deciding what will take its place. Brian takes a look at some potential swap candidates. There are about thirty years of grime in some places we can now see, so while the engine and transmission are out of the way, we use the extra space to clean up and get rid of the red.
