That's good. I was thinking "what the hell?" for a couple of minutes until I realized it was an April fool's video.

Excellent! I'm about to replace the head gasket (again) so I'll make sure to include his tips and parts!

Re: Good video on replacing piston springs
Very well done. Fool alert: I fell for it for about a day - the owners service manual is what really got me. As the previous owner of two Del Sol's, I couldn't believe Honda would do something that bizarre. Mainly I just wanted to see if he had any tricks for pulling the head - he made it look super easy (a lot easier than pulling the head on my Spider.)
The maker of this video deserves a lot of credit for all the detail (boxes for the springs, service manual, CPU readout). I really wonder what possessed him...

Re: Good video on replacing piston springs
Many years ago a friend was rebuilding the engine in a Triumph Bonneville that belonged to a girl we knew. He sent her to the dealership with a parts order. When she returned she said she got everything but 2 items. The piston return springs and the hardened rubber drive chain were back ordered and would be a couple of weeks.
