Hey Guys, I'm new to the forum, I'm an older Honda tech now retired. Just reaching out regarding a head swap I did on my wife's car. Its a 99EX Manual. Sent the head off to machine shop to discover it had a crack. I picked up another used head thinking hey all 96-00 D16Y8's are the same well...….
So I put the 97 head on her car and first fire has a high idle, I can hear a vac leak but cant find it.
Came on this forum and went wth is air injection haha. Here begins my problem haha.
So its a manual 99 EX I used all the OE equipment from the car minus the head is a 97. What should I do about going forward?
Pull intake off and plug us the 5 air injection holes on the 99 intake. Re-use the 99 IM gasket, not sure what else I would need to plug.
Or should I just get a 97 intake manifold?
I don't think the car will pass CA emissions in Comifornia but that's whatever.
I guess my question is what should I do as far as repair goes: It would be nice to not have CEL as well.
What's the most factory replacement program using the wrong year head lol.
Thanks for your Help!
