so i spun a rod bearing
i think it happened a while back and just been slowly getting worse
i can faintly hear it in the car now
but when im under the hood i can hear it with a little reving
when i pulled the 2nd spark plug wire it seamed to go away

i was wondering how long it will last
can i use the car to get to school on monday maybe more about 30km each way
im going to transfer my insurance asap

just drive around without the #2 plug wire on, it might help it last a little longer :1

There's no telling, sometimes they last a couple days. Most seem to destructo within minutes.

My celica lasted months with no oil pressure. it was amazing.

Tom-Guy

Hondas aren't Toyotas. Toyotas don't have oil pressure.

My brothers GTiR lasted about two days .. I know its not a Honda I'd say not very long.
Hate ------- spun bearings

Yeah ---- that. mine was kind of noisy at first but day 2 when i started it it was much louder. i parked mine while i still had a block with no holes in it to rebuild.

I think mine lasted about a month and I still beat the ---- out of it. Near the end it got worse VERY fast. In the course of about 15 minutes it went from making a little noise to seising right up. I had it floored and it still couldn't stay running in neutral.

Sounds like you DIDN'T have a D16Y7/8.

Atticus

well i think iv been driving like this for a month now
last week when i did a long pull up a big hill it started being noticeable under the hood
now its noticeable in the car but only when i really listen for it
im going to try to make it to school tomorrow and i guess if it gets worse ill take off the spark plug wire
