    That is kind of odd, it looks a lot like the imperfection that I have in mine!

    With the material the HG is made out of I think it should be fine. 

    That doesn't extend to the cylinder does it? If not I wouldn't be too concerned about it. 

    It does touch the cylinder wall. Honda Bond and call it a day?

      Wiring up the traction control. Any pointers on which front ABS wire to tap into?

      For the rear I'll use the vehicle speed sensor.

            Where have I heard that name before?

            From what ive researched, if you tap into an existing + from an ABS sensor then you need to amplify the signal like you mentioned the other day. Dialing in the amplification on that link I texted you looks like it requires an oscilloscope and an electrical engineering degree which is why I suggested making a bracket to mount a standalone wheel speed sensor.

                      I have the traction control under control in my head after a bunch of texts, a phone call and a little research on my end.

                          The one on the underside of the manifold?
                          Wiring for traction control looks about right, though I have not used one of the conditioners. What one did you end up using?
                          Edit: Just kidding, went back a page and found it.

                            I went to David Hobbs Honda yesterday.  He didn't put me in a honda but I gave him money and he gave me hondabond.

                              Now I'm confused. You are plugging the stock IAT port, and putting a vacuum line on it? I assume you are going to a GM style IAT sensor mounted on your charge piping?

                                The open element sensor is going to be advantageous for turbotime

                                  Ordered two of these.

                                  http://www.knifecountryusa.com/store/product/118873.118902/norton-sharpeners-ib6-6-india-alundum-175th-anniversary-edition.html?avad=55963_f9615842

                                  I'd be kicking myself if I blew the head gasket again without preparing the block the proper way.

                                  This weekend I'll get my oil cooler sorted out, order some other parts and put some work in!

                                    Good choice. Nearly everyone In our building has one of those, and I own one as well.

                                      The stone block is the farthest thing from the proper way lol.
                                      It's just a way to do it that allows you to keep the motor in. Not that it won't work, but unless you managed to warp your block you stand a chance of messing it up when you do it by hand. 
                                      You only use the stone a couple times, then you switch to sandpaper over the stone. 
                                      It's pretty easy, but you will have some very tired arms after!

                                        It's far better than doing nothing, right? I'm just nervous about that .0015 gap on cylinder #6.

                                        What would you do?

                                          I'm conflicted. 
                                          .0015 is practically nothing, but I get your concern. 
                                          I would give it a pass with 600 grit to see if any high and low spots show themselves and go from there I guess. 
                                          I can confirm that the  head gasket that you and I use squishes a lot, so it should have no issue with a .0015 variance

                                          ...
