Last Wednesday I blew my motor on the interstate. I may have spiked it or just overrevved. However I pulled the valve cover off and saw coolant in my head so I know I have a blown headgasket. Did a leakdown test: cyl 1 and 3 are good, 2 is not so good and 4 is gone. Tonight I'm going to pull off my head and hope that it's just a blown head gasket and not a bent rod or bent valves or whatever. If so, here will be my new daily driver build.


Sleeve my block

700cc+ injectors

Hondata

Eagle Rods

JE Pistons

Cometic Head Gasket

ACL Bearings

ARP head studs


Fix my tie rod boots, oil pan gasket and rear main seal. Put in my stage 3 clutch and an air/fuel gauge.

Should be done by the end of February or March-ish.

I will keep you updated as the build continues.

 

Post pics of the existing head and pistons when you get it off, mang.

 

I have my camera on my phone, but they should still come out ok. I'll do that this evening.

 

Here I am draining the oil, check out the grey murky color. (radiator fluid and oil mixed)


About to take the cams and gears out of my head.


Notice the radiator fluid?


Cams and gears out.


Don't ask, but this is how Acura techs take off the intake manifold.


and this is the conclusion to my blown motor.

 

damn dude cracked sleeve ftl.Built sleeve b series ftw,what are you hp goals???? as far as for the new build????

 

Judging by the injector size, I'd say 400+ whp on pump? That'd be kool!

 

haha those shirts look familiar , i my self am a acura tech also in maui , hawaii that is

 

HP will be around 300hp+ around 7-lbs.

It will be built for about 700hp+ but I will be keeping the boost down low. I'm building my block bulletproof and I don't want this **** happening again. Plus if I turn around an sell it someday people will like a built motor.

 

LOL!

 

looks like you were running an fmu. that was probably the problem. get a good tune next time and that prob wont happen

 

Hondata is a must this time.

 

Did you have anything pulling timing out? How much boost were you running?

 

 

holly crap that looks like just like mine


and my new AEBS block from Inline Pro


Good luck on your build

 

well as long as we are swinging our dicks with broken sleeved blocks heres mines

lol...i love carnage though

 

Sorry about the motor but the good thing is doing the rebuild so it can handle some big power.

We can install some Darton MID sleeves that can handle about anything you can throw at it. ERL is a distributor for Darton so we have the sleeves in stock or we already have some B18C motors sleeved with Darton MID's and the only thing they are waiting on the to be cylinder honed. PM me for more details.

Got a nice sleeved block now so its all good.

7lbs I may have spiked it and not noticed.

 

Did you have something pulling timing out? I'm assuming due to your FMU that you werent running a EMS and also had nothing pulling timing. So that nice crack in your sleeve is most likely due to detonation. Is all this correct to assume? Good luck with the new build. Some may advise to use a different rod if your gonna build such a solid setup.
