I have a 1993 Honda Civic and it had rodknock and when I was driving it the piston rod broke and went through the crank case.The engine still runs(it runs rough but it runs) so what I wanted to know is if I get a new piston rod installed and I have a piece of aluminum welded over the hole in the crank case should everything work ok?I was thinking about buying a sohc v-tec but i was worried that because its valves are electronically controlled that I would have to take it to get tuned and when i do that it would be expensive,is this true?

Yeah, uh, you dont want to do that.

Buy a new engine. JB Weld is not your best friend here.

get a engine rebuild, basically thats what u need and it will be better than ur idea

you have a lot of research to do, come back and make another thread after you have an understanding of what VTEC is, how it works and what you should do.

I will go one step farther and say that if he thinks he can weld a piece of metal in that gaping hole in the block, then he needs to learn more about engines in general rather than trying to understand how VTEC works.

v-tec stands for variable valve timing electronic lift control(or something simular to that).a sohc(single over head cam) v-tec has a camputer which changes the profile of the intake valve to adjust to the speed of the engine.i know about v-tecs i was going to buy a sohc v-tec for $400 thats imported from japan i just dont know what kind of maintanence a v-tec would require.so dont tell me to learn more about v-tecs and then come back just answer my question.also if i had a thick piece of aluminum and i welded it over the hole i guarentee the it would work fine.i have seen people do it before.

yea there would be alot of pressure.....oh well i guess ill just get the v-tec.ok i have one other question....i know someone that has a v-tec but they left the car sitting for a while and now when they try to start it,it sounds like it dosnt have much compression and it wont start.do you know why?

Yeah .... it's Variable valve Timing and Electronic lift Control ....

not VARIABLE - valve Timing and Electronic lift Control.

the reason i call it v-tec is because when people say vtec they say v(the letter) and then tec(the word).so if people called it all by letters vtec then i would spell it as vtec but people say v and then tec so i call it v-tec.
