i gotta 96 dx with an all motor gsr, overbore .50, cp 11.5:1 pistons, crower rods, fully built head with stage 2 crower valvetrain, bunch of bolt ons.. i bottomed out pretty bad and about 5-6 mins later my car make a gear grindin noise and just turned off, it wont pop start or turn over, starter just clicks, no holes in the block, no oil leakin, i dont get it... no oil light on... nothing... does any1 know what happened?

 

Starter clicks, Hmm... sounds like a bad starter?

 

Your tranny is the lowest thing motorwise on the car. Check that first.

 

when i go to turn the crankshaft manually it doesnt even budge... could i have bottomed out and messed up the oil pick up and it blew the motor bc of no oil goin to it? there is a smalllllll *** dent in the oil pan looks like a door ding, not even

 

???????????????/

 

Only one way to find out if thats the case..... drop the oil pan

Check for a ground wire that might have come lose would be my first look. After you drop the oil pan if its still good up there check the head.

Thats what i would do

 

anything else?

 

Drop you tranny and make sure you starter is on straight and none of the wires are lose..check the ground wire that grounds the tranny..its a good one..always ***** people up the ground...

 

Silly question, but did you remove your spark plugs before trying to turn the crank? Not that they would totally prevent it from turning...

 

i honda tech does all my work, hes pretty good never had trouble b4, im just wonderin what the hell the gear grindin noise was b4 it shut down

 

well u have alot of compression so turning it over by hand wont be the easiest thing, but it should. like the one person said, try removing the plugs and turning it over.

as for the noise who knows really, until it is pulled apart.

 

when i try to move the crank manually it doesnt budge but it does make a creeking noise... ill remove spark plugs and try but i dont think that will help at all

 

did your timing belt break? Maybe a piston is stuck up against a valve(s).

 

Look at the spark plugs, that happened to me once, all the power in my SOHC ( ) ended up rattling them free

That the transmission could also be giving you problems.

 

tranny as of yesterday id 100% rebuilt with all oem honda parts and carbon coated synchros, this motor was built right ... i guess not right enough tho... i spent so much $$ on this **** in the last week that it makes me sick to my stomach to see this happen i hope its osmethign minor

 

hopefully nothing seised up and no spun bearings

i'll be very impressed if you can turn your motor over by hand w/ the plugs in.

how much oil was in your engine when it stopped?

 

** whats so hard about cranking over a motor by hand with plugs in i did it on my stock d15b7

He has a built GSR with 11.5:1 comp. Gonna be quite a bit harder than a stock D15.

 

Yeah its gonna take a 6ft..cheater pipe....

 

through my point of view yeah i think you spun a bearing

 

yeah you guys are funny. You should be able to at least hear it build compression without putting any power behind it. You must of melted the bearing onto the crank, or something else happened to it

 

really question where did the sound come from engine or trans- even though they were "rebuilt" dosnt mean some thing wasnt done incorrectly and bottoming out cased it to fail prematurly .

 

because the oil pickup is like 2mm (not that close but damn close) away from the bottom of the oil pan you could have starved you motor of oil, from the dent blocking the pick up thus decreasing the efficiency of the oiling system.

I agree. I'd drop the oil pan and check to make sure. If you say it happened shortly after bottoming out it could have pinched something off. BTW, to whomever suggested that it was the starter, read a little (cough...A LOT... cough) more carefully.
