Nice looking car. Great color. I have seen guys see similar problems when the timing belt has been installed incorrectly, IIRC. Check it?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
