Re:1 more honda motor died today
 

I'm not saying I care about blowing this motor up, I was just gonna turbo it and blow it up in a few weeks anyway, but now, I have to learn how to tune on my new motor... oh well... I should be picking up an 88 DX hatch soon as a daily driver, so this car will be race only anyway...

Pulled off the Head today, looks like I threw/spun a rod bearing. The 2&3 were at different heights, and when I pressed down on the #2 (starting 1 at the timing belt) it was lose and pushed down to the same position as #3. Oh well. I also pulled the head of my spare D15b2 (head looked brand new, even with the valve cover off, because they said it was smoking... Yeah, the valves looked so fucked up, I'm pretty sure this block is fine, I can crank it by hand and it rolls smooth. I'm just gonna toss this y7 head on the D15b2 and swap that in... it'll be easier. I'm gonna find a D16 block later and rebuild it for turbo this spring, and turbo this summer, turbo in the snow doesn't really do much...

Not the greatest pic of the pistons but if you look closely, you can tell the right piston is lower that the left, I think the rod bearing broke into nothing...

Here's the whole car, I know... it's a piece... but it's mine and we've been through a lot together

Hahahahaha!I was wondering the same thing and then i scrolled down and saw your post!

Re:1 more honda motor died today
 

Yeah, those are headlights, it looked really funny when the car was together, but for road racing, it allowed a lot of direct air flow to the filter, and it always gets a laugh out of people. I really don't care what my car looks like as long as its fun to drive...
