    Usually for these smaller size screws and bolts I buy a bunch of long screws at a time. I then use a cutter and grinder to "fab" shorter ones, that way I always have the right length for the job. I go to a actual fastner wharehouse and there is a far wider choice. I prefer a SS allen screws for the TB area, cleans it up and wont corrode down the road.

    Yeah i have a ton of 3mm and smaller from all of my R/C crap. Unfortunately the screws the IACV needs are m4 and m5... so nothing i had fit!! I found some at Lowes using a 7 and 8 mm socket for refitting. It will have to do for now. Im sure i will have to take it off sometime in the future, and hopefully i can source me some nice anoe'd Ti fasteners. Id eventually like to do them throughout the engine bay on all unstressed applications.

    Ill look into them for sure!

    Also... there is something to be said of Honda's over engineering of the TB gasket. I have never, in my life, cussed as much while working on something so inconsequential as i did while removing that damned gasket. I ended up taking the TB all apart except the TPS sensor (if i knew how to set it i would have drilled them damn rivets out in a heartbeat). I ended up wet sanding the gasket area of the TB after gasket removal to clean up any marks i made during the intrusive event.

    Halfway through this debacle i seriously considered ordering a new TB just to call it a day. I finally got mine fixed, the IACV cleaned and spinnin like Marylin Monroe over a hot street vent. Even though i removed the cable bracket w/o changing the cables adjustments... i still needed to adjust the throttle and cruise cables once everything was put back together.

    With that said... THIS IS WORTH THE WORK! My EP now idles smooth as hell... watching the RPM's on KPro they stay hella stable within +/-50rpm of 800.

    Anyone have a spare TB so i can send mine off to Maxbore?

    I am not trying to thread jack but my question is related....

    How do you remove the damn screws that hold the iacv to the throttle body? I can't get them out and am afraid of stripping the heads. Any help from anyone who has removed them would be appreciated.

    thanks

    I removed one of them the same was as removing the IACV screws, just use a dremel and cut a flat head slot into it. Id plan on replacing them later on if you plan to do this in the futur. If not, it wont hurt.

    Now remember that eventually cleaning will no longer be able to overcome the corrosion damage to the bearings and it will need to be replaced.

    I have started to add a drop or two of light oil into the IAC port of the TB if the car will sit for a week or more during humid weather.
