None of those potential coolant issues would cause this. And I highly doubt your pistons decided to seize out of the blue... plus it's turning over. So the engine is rotating. From the sounds of it,...

Hey all, I pulled the tranny tonight. Turns out my patch job held up just fine. Rear (tranny side) main seal seems to have been the culprit. Ordered a new seal kit, and should be good to go.

Re: Best headers for b16a CRX Si
