98 Civic threw a rod cap right through the oil pan
I had some problems recently with the rod knock in my car. I took it apart and tried replacing the bearing. It started up fine and ran well.......until i went around the block the noise came back and got louder and louder until finaly the rod cap shot clean through the oil pan. Now I am stuck in a rut. I still owe 3 grand on the civic. So I thought the bank could help me out. I went to the bank and was basically told to buy a new car from GM and use the equity from their employee discount crap to pay off my car...**** that. I was told that i could, however, get a 3 grand signature loan to pay for any "repairs" my car might need. So do i just get a new engine and call it a day or is 3gs enough to go for the gusto and get something sweet done?

The "Y" engines have been known to throw bearings. I would get it rebuilt, or maybe throw in a turbo'd D16Z6. Just a thought. (psst, check out sohchonda.com for all of your sohc needs.)

just look for a used motor, i'm sure someone in your area has one leftover from doing a swap and will sell it cheap.

From a lack of changing the oil when you should.

3g's will buy you a b16 easily man. if you live in a place where they dont really do scrutinous inspections, im sure you can get one with a shady origin for like 800 bucks, otherwise spend 1500 or whatever then buy some cams.

Umm, no. *******. all have been near 3-4 so it is predicted that it's an oiling issue. All members that I know who have had this are very religious about oil changes.

After #3 ringlands went on my original Y8 block, I picked up a spare for cheap and swapped it in. The new block turned out to have rod knock, and this eventually happened:
As for your options: you could find another D16 to swap in relatively cheaply and easily, or $3k could easily get you a B swap.

That's a pretty nice hole in the oil pan. I threw a rod bearing in my JDM B16 about a month or two ago. I got myself a nice quarter sized hole in the front of the block so I'm building LS/VTEC now. My oil pan only had a small tear in it, enough to drain all the oil, LOL. Haven't taken it all apart yet to see how bad I fucked it up but when the **** blew I had sparks flying from under the hood. My water pump siezed during a 6hr Enduro. The rod bearing went very quickly after that... Yeah with 3 grand you should be able to fix it no problem. Like said you could find a new motor from a junkyard or someone who did a swap for a few hundred bucks. Spend the rest of the money on building up the bottom end a little so this wont happen again..

You can get a B16A for about $2250. Thats a complete change over. All you should need is small misc. stuff (radiator hoses, plugs, wires ect.) You can find a DIY for the install if you have the right tools and a garage or at least a nice driveway. Good Luck

Yeah I'm not gonna lie to you about the source of my problems, my speed sensor **** the bed. i never bothered changing and it led to a few too many late oil changes since i really had no idea on the miles.

Just get a B16 and call it good...$3000 is more than enough to get it and get it installed...check out HMotorsOnline.com...good engines and pretty fast shipping at a good price...

I hope you mean that I'll have enough left to buy rims. Cuz if you're knocking on my rims we might have words home slice!

Pretty much. At least that is what I proved.
Beat the hell out of a Y7 for 150k. No problems because the oil was changed every 3k. Then I said **** it and I didn't care about the motor any more. Went 13k on an oil change and blew up the motor.

Re: 98 Civic threw a rod cap right through the oil pan
hmmm all this makes me wanna go out and change the oil again. I always change mine regulary about 3k-4k miles and I use mobil 1 5w30 and pure one filter and it has 147k on it now, also this sounds like a good time to run some seafoam through it
