Yeah well come to find out when its like 2 quarts low these things happen. How it got 2 quarts low, i dunno. WHole pan ws soaked when i pulled it so and i been parking it on rocks for like a month now instead of driveway so i never saw the first drop. It had only been about 1500 since an oil change so im surprised the oil was so low. I have never had an issue with it leaking or burning off oil before.

So the honda broke cause its owner didn't pay enough attention i suppose. Pretty expensive mistake

The only machine work I had done was a hot tank and hone, but you could also do those yourself.
If the crank is still smooth and the bearings plastigauge within spec, I'd slap it back together

TT and Vitaras, you can drive it a hot minute NA until your turbo stuff comes through.

Since you have to build a bottom end you might as well pick up a D16A6 or D16Z6 so you can RUN A GOOD OIL PUMP and still check your oil, hint hint.

What do you think of machine work JD? I guess if I don't see any scores on the crank, just rebuild it? or should i have it turned?

The crank can't be used as it sits, you'll spin more bearings. You can grind Honduh cranks but for a D16 it costs more than another crank.

All the guys making over 400 seem to run .006-.008 piston to wall but you're probably fine in the .005-.0055 range. .018 for the top ring, .022 for the second ring, golden.

K. so I found a cheap crank kit so Im going that route but before I order it or rebuild I want the motor out so i can make sure i get the right crank. So I get all my ---- loose and apart or whatever and i get to the axels, now i busted them and had them replaced like 2 years ago while I was in school and in an apartment. Since I had no place to work on it and needed my daily back like yesterday I paid a friend to take care of it so I didnt notice this.

Since I suck I ened up ------- it up for a good hour till i had this.

Well I then chilled for a sec and realized there was like 4 different ways I could have done this so I got a different approch and pulled it out

Now im stuck cause I cant find a chain to pull the ****** out with lol.


Man those High pressure AC lines are no joke! it was quite a show. maybe next time i'll evacuate that ---- first.
