it happened
 

well... something in my motor desided not to work anymore. it sounds like i have no oil in, but i do. im going to have it towed to my friends house and yank the motor and pull it apart. if its got a major problem im going to just buy a new motor and not even bother trying to fix my already ageing engine. im glad im broke, this is going to make doing this so much easier :no: the only good thing is when i herd it i was still in my parking lot, and the engine has been on about a total of 10 seconds. ive already pulled the valve cover, theres oil in the head and everything seems to be in place with no scratches on anything vital.

Wow dude..good luck with everything...

damn hope its not too bad, you havent even drove it that much this year have you?

so you lude is in bad shape like mine two. gad damn.

JDM H22a is all i got to say.

that sucks. my accord made that noise for the past 40k miles andstill running strong, at least until yesterday when i decided to rear end someone

awh dang hun... im sowwy :(

bwahahahahah sorry not funny...the way you typed it was however haha

(^it was funny)

grinding sounds?

i'd describe it as something between grinding and a scratching sound.

this might be the end of my ownership with the lude once its done ;(

anyone know the good places to find engines now? i havnt looked in over a year. preferably a place that offers motors without trannys also.

nah, mine sounds like the valve train is not having oil on start up, then it sounds like a bad bearing someplace.

chris, could it be rod bearings maybe?

If you just wanna replace the motor Id call importautosalvage.com Im pretty sure I remember seeing an H there recently.
Hmotorsonline also sells H long blocks for good prices

well my friend is going to AAA my car to his place where he's got an engine lift, complete tool set including timing light, tq wrench and air tools. we're going to probobly tear the block apart till we find the problem. if its fixable for under $500 or so im probobly going to try and repair it, if not im just going to swap a new motor in.

yeah $1200 thats a little cheaper than what i was hoping for. ive never really herd much about hmotors, are they a good place to go through?

theyre one of the best!

good thats what i wanted to hear :D im kinda looking forward to tearing my motor apart now. i think im just going to get a small student loan to pay for everything.

im buying my H22a from there, with everything. ECU tranny Motor. then im purchasing gator axles. but thats after i pay all my debt off.

you need a new motor also?

is your car staying in orlando? if so, i can help you guys, i need something to stay busy!
