ok well i just installed a b16a into my crx only 900 miles ago. i ordered the motor from hmo, and i did all the proper initial start up things. i am babying this motor cuz i owe my dad like 1800. ok well the ohter day in my high school autos class i was looking for an exhaust leak. well the teacher and another fellow senior were under the car and i was in it holding the idle at like 2500 were i seemed to hear the leak the most. so then he said he hurd a rod knock. i was liek this is total bs. so then like its been a week and ive never even hit vtec cuz im scarred to break it.well like now i have like 990 miles on it and we checked it with a stethoscope. this time i could hear it it was like a verry quite scratching sound in cyl one. this sux u kno. well if i change my oil could it cover up the bad bearing and may b help. can i still track the car and boost on it i eventually am putting a turbo on this car so is the motor junk 4 a turbo now. idk post up what u think i should do.

 

just fix it

 

Better take it apart if you are sure about it. Save it before more damage is done.

Check oil for metal shavings.

 

Luckily B16A blocks are a dime a dozen. Almost. Just hope that your head is ok

 

Drop the pan and do a set of bearings you are in shop class have your teacher help out its really not that hard at all

 

**** that i would never actually work on the car at the shop at school i would have a spray painted car with broken windows and other junk. well like i guess i could do anything at home considering i did the swap at home what all will i need to fix this i think its the lower bearing
