thats not that bad but it still sucks. so is it time for forged internals?

Re: owned blown motor pics
 

Haha, a bent rod cant be good.. lol so i dont see how its not that bad. You do not want to run a turbo motor with a bent rod, so rebuilding a motor is bad if u dont want to/ have to. But yea, welcome to the world of Oem honda parts.

who gives a ---- really, i've got a spare b7 laying around i got for $175, and a spare y8 i got for free. hell yeah nigga. my friend swapped an h-series in, and he was like "why the ---- would i want anything with a sohc? take it, get that ---- outta my garage". i grabbed it and ran. the b7 is goin in now as a turbo mini-me while i build the y8 up, i think i said that already. yeah the rod was hitting the block i think, it has spider cracks on it so i'm just gonna toss it or make a cannon or something out of it.

why would i ever need anything more than 300hp on a well balanced street car? the sohc is much more suited to my power desires for the car and definitely on my budget.
