Well guess what i just did, it starts with blew and ends with up. I believe that i just spun a rod bearing in my civic. For those that don't know I have a d16 in it. I know that this engine is no longer good due to running the engine for up to 30min after it started knocking. Lucklly I have another engine to go in it. It is a 1.5 but oh well, i was planning on swaping the engine thie summer.

before you write it off, drop the oil pan and physically check to see which rod is loose on the crank, and go from there. at the very worst you will need new mains, rod bearings, a rod and a j-yard crank.

At the very worst he could have bent the crank and run all of the metal shavings from the bearing through the motor.

I looked at it the other night and I'm still not conviced that it's blown though. It's doing strange stuff. The knock comes and goes.....strange!

Well the engine is comming out, it appears that it did not spin a rod bearing. We have it narrowed down to the input shaft of the tranny so we are swaping out the engine and tranny. I have a spare 1.5 with tranny sitting in front of the car right now so it is definately going in the car by friday.
