as many of you guys remember, my house burned, and so did my civic.
so me and my friend decided to pull the motor. [freak] it. why not? haha.
special thanks to justin bohm for his time!!!! and luis cruz for helping with the little stuff!
god pulling this with all the bullshit was so bad. everything was burned and hard as [freak] to pull. i ended up ripping hoses out and just ripping out all the harnesses.

anyway, here's before.


here's what's been up.






































so what do you guys think?

Jakester9500

i'd say it's still rebuildable.
the block itself doesn't look too bad

miguel329

have machine shop check for cracks

hotrod99

damn that sucks bro...even more cause it was boosted,i would take the block to a machine shop and have it hot tanked they should be able to clean it up pretty good

4drkidd

Damn thats a sad site to see..
I'd say rebuild it and bring it back to life!!

fastrc2

now you can say the entire engine, dan gthe whole car was heat treated!! seriously that sucks i am sorry to see such a melted mess. i personally think the metalurgy has been changed, so now things are more ridgid, therefore more brittle than before

95dxsir2

i would check the head and block for straightness before i sent it out. that's if you have access to a straight edge. that whole engine had to be about 6-800 degrees Fahrenheit

i hate this mindset. but sometimes i think it may be the best thing to do.

guaranteed if i do keep using it, i'm going to definitely rebuild it.
but i want to try my best to keep that turbo... cuz it took forever to find this flange... and it took forever to make it work.

It's an aluminum motor everything is probably warped, I wouldn't even care about it at this point

looks like you had a fiberglass or carbon hood that melted all over the motor

Wow man, that's hard to take. If it was in an attached garage or part of the house your homeowners will pay for it. Hope all gets worked out!

its so sad to think of it this way but its true.

aluminum is weak compared to other metals... im sure all the heat and then the cooling down would of warped it esp. if the fire dept sprayed that bitch to put it out its gonna be warped to ****.

hondaman1212

just saying sorry for life being a bitc* . next time karma will kick in and you will have an even better build!!!

Hanmin

home owners should cover it.
