Good to hear you're getting back into it Kai :P Just curious, where and how do you get the head hardness tested? Did you find a place that does it?

Henry, cause it's green and I associate green with the Henry from Thomas The Tank Engine from when I was little. :D

Well the way I see is is the total amt of money spent on insurance accumulated over my life is probably going to be SIGNIFICANTLY higher than my medical needs, unless ofc I nearly die in a car fire and need my entire body reconstructed, or contract the plague and acquire more medical conditions...

Thanks for the help doc, I bought a truly awesome $25 splint from my local drugstore and it's been keeping me from re-injuring my wrist, in fact the soreness has been completely gone for a week now and I can begin to use it for small things.. like opening doors. ..yet more importantly...

Hah, nothing wrong with Hondas, great on gas, reliable, and cheap parts, was my sis car tho, welcome to the forums, and thanks. :)

Ok cool, makes sense I was doing some reading. Appreciate the help. I was worried because its been like 2 mo and I wasn't taking it as easy as I am now because I didn't think it was serious. I'm reconsidering the brace because it honestly feels completely comfortable keeping it hanging loose...

I've been taking 2 x 200mg ibuprofen 3x started today. Aren't those last 2 drugs arthritis treatment? 0_0 How good are my chances of recovery without recurrent injury/pain?

I tore a muscle in my armpit area after following an upper body workout and there would be an extremely sharp pain upon lifting my upper arm out. I had it in a sling for a week and it healed. This pain in my wrist is different, it's more dull, pain upon using that follows force or weight...

It was 2 mo ago I was working on my sisters civic, trying to get a stripped egr valve bolt off. I was grasping a pair of channel locks on the bolt with both hands, squeezing with 110% and attempting to twist it off when I heard/felt a crinkling/tear on the back of my left hand left side just...

Harpy Birfday!

I'm really looking for someone who can explain why the leak stops when I pinch this vac hose.

That was just a tear down of the engine and replacing gaskets. Rebuild was much later down the road. TBH im not sure what gasket I used, I had a stone kit, I do not believe the stone head gasket kit comes with any egr valve or cooler gaskets. I've felt everywhere and soaked the entire area...

Anyone? I'm trying to figure it out before I throw money at it.

When doing the boost leak test I found the air leak stops when I pinch the vac hose coming off the TB in the pic below. When I'm doing this during a boost leak test wouldn't it mean air is going from the tb and flowing to the egr valve through that vac line, meaning it would be closing the valve...
