Well check the state of this.
That's whats left of the silly coil thing that was installed in Japan between the head and the inlet manifold. Its 2 thin pieces of metal with a solid rubber center(this was roughly an inch thick and has went brittle) and metal dowels. A proper oem paper gasket was used to hold it in place but tiger seal was also used making it an absolute nightmare to be removed/clean head for new gasket.
A thermal gasket is now in its place and at last the car no longer hunts at idle. Result! Also did the throttle body gasket with a new thermal one as well.
The rear mount which I'm sure was causing my vibrations when car turned off and clunking/bangs when changing gear has been replaced with a innovative rear mount (75a), car now no longer does the mentioned bits above but from standing start shakes the whole dash
. This was only quickly fitted and proper install procedure is still to be followed which I'm sure will cut most of that down.
I also have the gearbox mount to match and just ordered the front mount. Gearbox one might be left off till i find out if the engine mount one on the euro-r is the same as the one innovative sell for the US accord as its a different part number, rear and gearbox are the same part numbers, front cross references on some sites as being the same part number so hopefully the engine one is same and then I'll be running a full set of uprated mounts
The only downside to everything done is the resulting EML due to the knock sensor snapping as the inlet coil thing was removed, ordered one up so hopefully be here soon
