I droped my 1995 honda accord EX (2.2 vtec, 5speed) at the mechanic..strauss auto to do a t-belt change and when i picked it up the was so much freaking noise in the head.. i lfet it there and told them to fix ti cause it was not making that noise when i brought it it... it just sounds like a loud knocking in the top.. my first guess was timing was off and those were my valves hitting the piston.. second guess what no oil pressure.. can someone give me a heads up on what these guys could have done and what the noise could be?
desperate for help here

 

Hmm, I'm not positive but I think I did read that it will run if you're off by one cog. Is it vibrating real bad, in that case it would be the balance shafts? Definitely get what you freaking paid for!

 

if they replaced a cam seal they could have forgot to tighten cam pulley bolt.....mmm as for no oil pressure i wonder if the bal belt slipped off and oil pump not spinning ,,,i would have them remove t-belt covers and double chk their work ,,,,was this a dealer or some mickey mouse mechanic ??

 

this was strausss discount Auto.....the Have ASE certified technitians...and a few master technitians on hand...i don't trust my car with just anybody....
how much damage do you think has been done.? keeping in mind that they took it for a test drive after they had "finished" the job

 

How is the tension on the belt feel?

 

how much did u pay for the tbelt change?

 

i paid $304 that did not include parts... i also had the front engine seals replaced... i have not been ablt to chek the belt out for my self..but i am sur eit was not a low tension belt..

Knocking not ticking? If it sounds ticking, check valve clearance.

 

motorman like i said earlier take it back and have those guys take apart and double chk the work they did..
