There are specs, also the pressure the drainback valve opens at, but it's not usually hard to find a similar-ish one.

OFFICER 13 INCH posted:Okay, go type in 1975 Honda Civic _____________ on ebay and see how many results for HIDs and anodized lug nuts you have to scroll through before you find the part youre looking for. Yuuuuuup. I go through the same thing trying to get parts for my 70's Goldwing. The best source for parts other than eBay is a site called straightwings.com that sells used take-offs, since most everything for them is NLA. I'm still trying to find someone selling the little rubber grommet-thingy that holds the flasher relay in place since my original rotted to bits, and I still haven't found one after the better part of a year.

There's this highly dodgy website: http://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/Wix/51390 I doubt it checks bypass spring pressure and stuff like that, but if I had to guess 70s Hondas don't run obscene oil pressures like Subarus do and so probably don't "need" a nice strong spring. Some table told me the 75 Civic needs a Honda 15400-634-505 filter, which is on that list.

IOwnCalculus posted:The tricky thing seems to be the combination of thread and gasket diameters. There are other M20-thread filters, including at least one that is common enough to get more than just the basic Fram PHxxxx part, but most of them have a much narrower gasket surface. The best thing to do would be to measure the gasket contact surface that the filter spins on to as opposed to trying to find something similar to the current filter. If he gets lucky he might have more room than he thinks (or not.) MANN+HUMMEL has a crossreference site where you can plug in general dimensions and its spits out what they have. 1500quidporsche posted:I highly doubt fram or any of the other cheap filter makers take this into consideration when they shove a piece of cardboard into a metal housing. There are ISO, SAE, BS, etc specs and what not that dictate standardized testing and I would expect that Fram would have conducted at least some rudimentary testing prior to producing a filter. For a low volume part the testing might be literally two or three different tests of a sample size of one, but generally something will happen. Smaller companies out of a place with no financial accountability, like China, do pull this stunt though. For a really old filter though, at this point they are likely only kept track of with a poor photocopy of a 37 year old print and a bill of materials, so take that as you will. Along the same lines, I would really steer clear of buying any filters off of eBay. Its a pretty good place to unload counterfeit goods, and as much as I am not a fan of Fram, they are at least a known brand name that can be obtained from reputable vendors. Seat Safety Switch posted:There's this highly dodgy website: http://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/Wix/51390 Heh, I found that exact link at work and was going to bring up the bypass valve but noooooooooooo I just had to wait till I got home. Usually links like that are a good place to start searching from, but they tend to include a lot of bad references. Anyway, the bypass valve cracking pressure is super important to have correct. Going to a modestly lower pressure likely will not be too much of an issue, but buying a filter with a much higher cracking pressure or not having a bypass at all can put an engine in a world of hurt fairly quick on a cold day. Worst case scenario the filter's centertube collapses and cuts off flow to the engine, best case the engine's flow is tiny and nothing bad happens.

There's entirely a chance that the OEM filter for his engine has a dodgy bypass valve to begin with - my '78 Honda has a weak bypass design and no anti-drain back on it's original filter cartridges.  I wonder if anyone makes an adaptor plate like this for his engine: http://randakks.com/collections/filters/products/honda-gl1000-gl1100-gl1200-cbx-dohc-4-cx500-and-variants-engine-parts (Considering his car already uses some other parts off of Goldwings of that era, would entirely be not surprised to find his car uses the same crap cartridge and canister design and that bolts right up).

I know this all to well. I work for a heavy duty OEM and spend about a third of my time fixing issues like that. If I had to take a guess, I would suspect that that far back in time they were not as concerned with aftermarket part sales and just went with a filter that most likely will get you to the first oil change. After that the expectation would be that you buy someone else's filter and no one considered that twenty to thirty years later the OEM might be the only supplier (and from their perspective fixing it is not worth the money involved.)

Honestly nothing makes me happy right now. There are nights I wake up from nightmares about the awful things I went through trying to get her into treatment, there was a girl that asked me out at a bar once a month or so ago and I broke down crying. I was hitting it off really well with another amazing girl last week and out of nowhere began having crippling anxiety attacks over absolutely misplaced feelings of guilt for so much as even talking to someone else. Like months on I still need to worry about what she thinks of me. Panic. Feelings of terror to even begin trying to treat myself as a normal human being who deserves to be happy and close to someone again even if just for one night. But each time a chance comes up overwhelming terror takes over me and I shut myself into my room with a bottle and dont come out till its empty. Hell the girl last week I just up and stopped messaging her for a few days because I cant think of how to tell her that even flirting with someone has shown me how profoundly the last year has broken me emotionally.

Fix the civic, let it represent yourself, give it time and attention, don't be afraid to replace what's broken with something new. It'll always have a history, but what it becomes doesn't have to be broken and unreliable.

I'd say the Civic, surpassing all expectations, has been the most solid and stable thing in your life the past year. Rebuild the poo poo out of it. e : I will reiterate the suggestion of turning it into a Mocca-Brown Mustard-Yellow 80's time machine.

Its not just depression. Most days I get done what I need to get done but the thought of being with anyone else cripples me with horrifying anxiety attacks. The closest I can describe it is what people who suffer from PTSD describe. Last night was another long night of dreams about her. How happy we would have been i I waited, how terrible it was before. Dreams about watching her die over and over in my arms and then nightmares accusing me of not doing enough or being good enough. Woke up in sweats three or four times.

I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but you really should get some professional help of some kind - ie talk to someone. Sure, its normal to have regrets over a relationship, but from what you describe, you are suffering from serious crippling issues that need to be addressed before they start having a detrimental impact to your health. You seem to have taken a good first step by comparing your situation to PTSD. Now take the second step and book an appointment with a counselor or psychiatrist. Please take care of yourself. We may be random strangers over the internet, but we still want you to stick around.

More important than talking to a therapist is talking to one that gets you. if you go a few times and dont feel like you can talk about all the weird growths on your dick with your therapist, find a new therapist.

I know from experience that you can feel like changing anything will take away from your persona, or whatever feels like is your last bastion of what makes you feel special. But if that last bastion is only fear, pain and regret, its only gonna hurt you in the long run.

You probably don't make a lot of money, so sign up for Obamacare and get subsidized mental health treatment. My sister just did that, she's up there in Seattle too, it was easy and she makes so little money that her plan has a cost of zero dollars. While you're treating your anxiety, you can also work on the alcoholism and maybe whatever side effects come from huffing owl pellets. Also you can get a doctor to inspect your ears for spiders? I haven't said stuff before because I don't think AI is or should be E/N, but 13, you mention your problems here often enough that I think you must feel they're OK to chat about here.

Idle hands are the devil's playground. That Biturbo would keep you so busy you would never have time to even think about your problems. The Civic on the other hand...well, reliability can be a double-edged sword. Ask me how I know, if you're really curious. I will say the period during which I owned my Saab 900 was one of the most fulfilling in my life.
