b16a is in and 100 miles later.......
BAM the car loses power and dies. Now the engine needs a tune up really bad but I dont think that is the problem. Car was running good considering it needs pugs and wires REALLY bad, and VTEC was pulling strong, no check engine light, no codes.
The timing belt was changed along with the water pump and a 8.8 lb flywheel.
I was going 65 in fifth gear and it stalled all of the sudden. I pull over and pop the hood and there is some smoke coming from under the hood, not much smoke though. When I try to start it, the motor cranks for a sec then a pop, pop, pop sound coming from the exhaust.
Any insight to what's wrong? I am going to change the plugs and wires now and see if that does anything.
The difference in power my car has or did last night, at least when the b16a was alive, compared to the stock motor is night and day. The car is a 91 STD civic so needless to say it's a world of difference going from 70 HP to 160. And I cant wait to drive it again.
Sorry for the long post

Kinda sounds like u skiped a teeth or two on the timing belt. and as for the smoke posible burn off dirty hands leaving oil prints the heat buring them off.

I got the motor from Hmotorsonline. The engine runs good I drove it around 100 miles then the distributor went. But Steve at Hmotors is replacing the dizzy, no questions asked.
