Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

Wise choice... I have limited personal experience with the small odyssey batteries. But that is intentional. I look into them every few years to see if the situation has improved much and when I interview my friends who run them, they like everything about them except how often their battery is dead.

there are some new improvements in the very high end lightweight batteries, mainly the lithium replacements. there are some that are smaller, lighter, and due to the linear output of lithium cells can still start the car even when almost discharged, but at 1500 and up they are cost prohibitive even if they have a 20 year rated life.

Time for Startup!!!

COSMO · 06-29-2014, 09:00 PM

As of about 15 min ago the car is ready to be started!!!! I will want to go over everything tomorrow just to make sure everything has been checked before the first startup.. Thinking on videoing it...

Fountainhead · 06-29-2014, 09:29 PM

Hey I only want to see a video if it cranks and runs OK. Anything else would be too sad.

Did you ever started your car?

COSMO · 07-02-2014, 10:16 PM

Actually I just sold my house and had to move the car to a friends house until I can get into my new house. I'm planning on working on it over there and should only take a few hours before the first startup.. Will video the startup and post it up..

congrats on the new house and move. those are super stressful, GL!

Take it to a corner mechanic and ask him to charge it

It is what I did when I swapped to the CSF

COSMO · 07-07-2014, 03:09 PM

I should be able to recharge it using the low side line.. Don't take anything to the corner mechanic..
