		<title>Clutch Chattering Improved</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the urethane added to the mount was only cured for 40 hours when I test drove the Insight today, I was a bit nervous that it would not be cured enough to withstand the test drives. But it worked. It does not respond so harshly to having a chattering clutch with the motor mount [...]]]></description>

		<title>Motor Mount Repair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the rear motor mount with Loctite Polyurethane PL Window, Door and Siding Sealant from Home Depot. I found a post in a Honda-Tech thread that a guy tried it and liked it&#8217;s vibration isolation characteristics better than the 3M Window Weld Urethane. The bridge added to the top section should really help the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rear Motor Mount</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few things I found out tonight working on the Insight. There is not an inspection panel to check the crankshaft end play. The oil pan would have to come off. The oil pan is clear of any obstructions, but it has the oil filter and something else attached to it. Decisions, decisions. Here is [...]]]></description>

		<title>egr plate touchup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Egr function is about volume of flow. A small reduction in cross sectional area creates a large reduction in the volume of egr gas flow. So I suspect these egr plates need to be kept clean for this super high performance Insight engine to do it&#8217;s job at 80-100mpg. I ended up touching up the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fuel Injectors did well</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got back from Fuel Injector Corp in Livermore, CA. The injectors all had the same flow rate and also had an excellent pattern. Robert put 3 new o-rings on each injector. The flow rate that most peopel read about is 145 ml/min. But that&#8217;s only at full open. Mine were also checked at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fuel Injectors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fuel injectors are out, and ready to go to Fuel Injection Corp in Livermore, CA in the morning. It&#8217;s about an hour drive. For $25 for each injector they will get flow tested, cleaned, and flow tested again. One guy on the InsightCentral forum had this done and his flow numbers between injectors vastly [...]]]></description>

		<title>EGR Plate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided it was finally time to take out the EGR plate and see how badly clogged it was. I wasn&#8217;t disappointed!! In a couple of places the carbon cutoff all flow of egr gases. This will be a huge factor in the Insights drivability. Look how high the carbon is piled up on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clutch chattering, fuel injector and EGR plate cleaning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have the gasket for the egr plate in hand, and the intake o-rings on order. I plan to take out and clean the egr plate as it has 220k miles. Here is a link for the egr plate procedure. Also the injectors are coming out and I&#8217;m driving them to a place to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Headlight Switch repaired</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I fixed the Insight headlight switch, but I did not add a relay. After looking at the crimp and wire that were damaged, it was easy to see that they were over heated. Not a surprise since the plastic around the pin in the headlight switch were melted. Here is a pic of the damaged [...]]]></description>
