Every Time I Remove Something, I Find MORE Problems!

We're back working through the engine removal process, and this time we're tackling the suspension and driveshafts to get everything ready for the big moment. After draining the fuel tank, removing the fuel sender unit and transferring the fuel into my MR2 SW20, we're moving on to the next jobs needed to free up the engine and gearbox. But, as seems to be becoming a regular theme with this Accord, things don't quite go to plan! IN THIS EPISODE: Removing suspension components Tackling the driveshaft removal Finding even MORE hidden rust Uncovering more questionable bodged repairs Discovering yet more fluids that need draining Continuing the preparation for the engine and gearbox removal The more we take apart, the more we uncover. What started as an engine failure caused by a piston ring problem in cylinder 4 has turned into a much bigger restoration project than I originally expected. There's rust, questionable previous repairs and plenty of unexpected jobs along the way. At this point, I'm beginning to wonder just how much more this Accord is going to throw at me! But we're not giving up just yet. Every component removed is another step closer to getting that engine and gearbox out. Will we finally get everything disconnected and ready for the engine pull? LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS: Have you ever worked on a car where every job seems to uncover another problem? And how much rust or bodged repairs would be enough to make you walk away from a project?
