When it came time to pulling the engine and transmission out of our Civic... we pretty much did everything the wrong way. 😅

If you’re looking for a step-by-step tutorial, this probably isn’t it. But if you want to see what not to do (and hopefully learn from our mistakes), you’ve come to the right place.

Follow along as we wrestle with stubborn bolts, remove way more parts than necessary, question our life choices, and somehow manage to get the engine out anyway. Along the way, we point out every mistake we made so you don’t have to repeat them on your own project.

Sometimes the best lessons come from doing everything wrong first.

Third times the charm. We have the K20 back together….again. I have made some errors the last few times putting it together and we know it is good now.

New episode is live. We knocked the dust off the new (to us) car that’s been sitting in the corner. Link in bio.
