Alright H heads,

My thrust bearings just went out on the LS/VTEC set up that I have in the Hatch. i have never heard of this happening to Bseries motors, but then again i don't know if the LS block has anything to do with it. what are some solutions to take care of this problem? what route would be best.

i will be happy to answer any questions

thanks guys

Barnabie

 

im sure there has to be someone out there that has some info.

Typically a thrust bearing problem is from clutch t/o bearing or transmission misalignment.On domestics it can happen from people that rest their foot on the clutch pedal or "ride" the clutch.

 

i know on domestics it has happened, but i have never really seen this on a honda motor. do you think that the clutch might be too much for the motor?

 

where they put in the wrong way? groove on the wrong side?

 

i am almost positive that they were installed correctly. very reputable shop here in El Paso.

 

is the motor still intact open it up and look...the grooves should face out

 

im gonna crack'er open today and see what the deal is

 

I have seen it happen in a K24 out of an accord or CRV ??, Why I donno, but it had them both in the oil pan.

 

what was the cause of this?

On a B-series, it's usually too much clutch. Not a common problem. H-motors on the other hand...

 

what is too much clutch?

 

Not neccesarily too much clutch, but too much clutch disengagement. What kind of clutch do you have?
