Cant remember if that year had the “fuel spider” but I think it did, change that. Either way, known for intake gaskets so it is easier on the floor rather than in the truck. “fuel spider” is if it has the fuel lines under the intake manifold, bad design in my opinion, don’t fix the spider, just replace it. Other than that it is an easy job. with air tools and knowing what you need ahead of time you can get the engine on a stand and the coolant is still steaming hot.

My opinion is you could extend your oil changes a bit but draining is important, as I have been tought, light particles are cought in the filter but bigger particles (still tiny) are trapped in the pan. With the regular influx of new oil you are replenishing the additive from the oil, it is the junk in the system you want out.

There is lots of things to check for a hard start condition, sounds like spark plugs is the first step, and see if there is oil at the plugs, if there is then Eric made a video about it, common as hell, and go with OEM plugs only on a honda. Other than that check with the dealer and ask about recalls, there was an igniter recall about those years that acted like that. They need your VIN number to check recalls, every car I have ever bought I ask the dealer if there are any recalls, its free to ask.
LMAO, thats a good one, I heard one from a friend so I trust it is true, woman came in for an oil change, turns out she was a drug mule, stashed a bunch of pounds of weed under the hood and didn’t know you need to be under there to change oil, she got busted, lol

The last reply is exactly what I meant but he said it better. Buy the best stuff you can afford but unless you are rich to start with you will have to upgrade tools when you can.

I am in Canada but USA has a very close system for a liscence I think. At age 16 you can go take a written test and 20 min later you can drive but you need a liscenced driver beside you. No restriction for time to do the next test, you drive with a person from the liscence office and they grade you, if you pass then you can drive alone. Then in a year and a half another drive test to be able to drive on the highway over 80 kph. never any restriction on engine or anything, there are separate liscences to drive a large truck like a dump truck or bus.

You don’t need expensive tools. I started out with a good cheap wrench set, sockets, etc. and a box that was just a bit bigger that what i needed. Once you start making money then you upgrade a little at a time. My first upgrade was a 3/8 ratchet. I had several cheap ratchets and every weekend I was taking 1 or 3 of them back for warrenty. Once I upgraded that ratchet was beat on hard for over 10 years untill it needed warrenty. Now that all my tools are upgraded the old ones are in a box at home and the good ones are in a good box at the shop.

Nice looking cars. The Falcon kinda looks like a Taurus here I think. Falcon and many of the other names Haven’t been used in many years 70’s I think. Why can’t you drive a V8?
