i have a Stock 99dx it's pretty clean I have an aftermarket paint job. almost looks like s2000 red. Also i have so acura rims with a 3 in drop. I have skunk 2 springs and kyb adjustable shocks.

NeWays I dawg the **** out of my engine the other night. turns out i had little to no oil in my car thanks to thin synthetic oil and a leakin oil pan. I hear a tapping in the motor and cant figure out what it was. next day i change my oil and its still going on. its not coming from the head so i think is is a bearing.

so my questions is should i buy a new motor or would it be worth the couple of hundred dollars just to fix the d16y7? any help or comments would be appreciated. Thanx

couple hundred dollars? to fix the rod bearing? maybe if you do it yourself

shop wanted over $1000 just to 'look' at my engine...

so im just getting a new engine

Well, how much money can you spend? You could buy a B series if possible, or you could get yourself a HELM manual for $70 and due repair the bearings yourself. You will save a ton of money and you will learn something also.

if your on a budget i believe haynes or chilton manual will show you how to change a bearing there also available at ur local library

just drive it til it breaks. keep up on the maintainence and see how long it last. when it goes, then replace it with a b series.

Haynes manuals are total **** the book tells you nothing IMO chiltons is better but the dealership uses the helms manuals and ive never had to ask questions with it by my side

Well I ended up doing that. It fucked uo about a week ago with a simple grinding of metal since the rod dearings were f'd up. Yesterday I dorve about ten miles running an errand and halfway home the grinding got louder and it happened in every gear. barely made it into the nieghborhood when from the lack of oil pressure my car dies at a gas station. I had to push it home. I was ****** pissed. But then i realized im gettin a b series so it went away real real quick.

If its a good mototr i appreciate you sending me his name. Also I found a 94 and up gsr motor on japanstarmotors.com and it was only 2800 for a complete swap. i want to know if they are legit or if any one has gone through them. any feed back would be excellent
