The other day i was driving home on the interstate doing about 65 and my integra started making this clicking sound. Its got about 155 thousand miles and normally runs like a champ. I knew right away this sound wasnt good, so i pulled over, left it running and popped the hood, everything seemed to be running fine, checked the fluids all was good. Got back in the car and went to take off and the damn thing wouldnt go over like 55, so i pulled back over. Shut it off, when i went to start it it would barely run, i nursed it off the road and parked it. Anyone konw what it could be. I figured either a rod or a valve. A valve is an easy fix and rod is not. Can any of you shed sum light on my problem

 

have you over-reved recently? i just fixed my rod knock problem in my car...it wasnt to hard, because i caught it really early.

the best way to tell where your noise is comming from it to get a long screwdriver move the tip around the engine with your ear to the handle.

 

well the day it happened i was autocrossing so i was revving it pretty hi but never hit the limiter, like i said got 150 sum thousand and didnt wanna blow it to bad ive already pulled the head and sent it to be polished and had the valves checked, how did u fix ur rods, did u have ot dissasemble ur motor

 

yea a friend of mine shifted from 4th 2 2nd and over reved hard core and bent a valve. so it could be a valve i would check that

well for my situation i just replaced the rod bearings. i caught my knock early and there was no damage to the crank or rods. i got the letters off the crank and the numbers off the rods and went to honda and used those numbers to get the size of the stock bearings the engine had.

 

ok i figured thats how u did it, i dont have near the damn money to buy new rods, thanx for the info

yea drain the oil and use a magnet and check it, then take the oil filter off and split it open and look whats inside. when my bearing was bad i had a fine gold glitter in my filter

 

i took it apart, its the damn rod bearings, worn the expletive out, everything else seems to be in good order, thanx for the help sux taht a 30 dollar fix has kept me out of a car for 2 weeks
