So....new engine....?

Well me and Josh (Foooord) and few other people took a crusise up to Joshes house to hang around up there for a few. So I get there I park my car and go inside like a normal day, well when I came out I start my car to a nice loud knocking sound, great! So I ended up checking my oil and bam it was bone dry, yeap well thats all cool where was it? It wasnt on the ground, it didnt burn any on the way up because there was no blue smoke. So anyways I hitch a ride in the mother's car and go to Honda and get 3 quarts of oil to put in and continue my journey to Honda in my car. When I get there I put my car in and they said its probally connecting rods, lifters, or some other nice expensive fix. So since the engine has 250k, instead of putting a wad of cash into this engine to get it fixed, I'm going to order a bran new engine from Honda with 0km on it and drop that in. Errrrrr...cars they SUCK!!!!

go be a bit more rich...

Well I got to do one of the two anyways either fix the one I got or get a new one and the price I can get a new engine for would be about the same price of getting the old one fixed.

same thing happened to my moms escape we still dont know where the oil went then the motor was say this one ticky ticky knock knock dead so we ended up geting a new one

Both of my cars burn oil so I've never let either go dry. That's really shitty man, best of luck with that.

that sucks, hondas burn oil, i know mine did i had to add oil every week. Getting something with more power or same?

ouch ....that sucks Mark, I hope it works out for you. Same engine or something a lil' different?

Well I want to go with a B18 series engine, but correct me if I'm wrong, I think you got to change the ECU, tranny, wiring harness, and axels to do this swap and if thats the case I'm just going to go with the same engine which is a D16Y8 VTECH. I joined a few Honda forums and asked the question cause I'm not that smart when it comes to that stuff.

oh well, benefits u in the long run anyways..new engine, no km's, almost lucky...if u didnt have to pay for it

ouch... sorry to hear dude! get er' all fixed up ! drop a v-tec inner with a turbo?
or maybe throw a VW badge on the front and see if it helps ?

ouch that sucks man im think mines on its way out recently started smoking but yeah it has 250k on it this is engine number 2 for the wagin prolly change it this summer if it makes it that far

Hahaha nice VW emblem on that Civic. Well turns out today engine is shot, number 4 cylinder and connecting rods are shot. So new engine for sure no choice now.
