Default engine blew...no signs lead to it:(

put a full tank of gas in my 1989 honda civic hatchback dx d15b2 driving shifting at 3k got to 2nd gear, made a [freak]ed up noise like a spinning bearing or somthing, got ready to pull off to the side of the road and it shook and white smoke flew from the exhaust so time for a engine swap puttin a 1.5 back in it unless they got a d16a6 for same price, anyway any advice on doing the swap never did one before dont got alot of cash prolly 700 bux engine is 450 thats with core charge.... this sucks ***

Then it is just a matter of unplugging the engine, unbolting it, and dropping in the new one.

You should be able to find an engine for less then 450.

you wont even beleive what happen, i had my wife take it to penzoil before any of this accured they put 3 quarts too much of oil in the engine, for the oil change.

and i guess it has the same effects as a blown head gasket

so i empty out 3 quarts and boom runs like a beast. so im happy

that's ridiculous. if there were any towing fees, shop fees, etc. you incurred because of their error, they need to pay for them, as well as paying for a certified honda mechanic to look at your engine and make sure it wasn't permanently damaged. tear them a new one.

i went up there and starting calling them a bunch of dumb freaks and how do you add 3 quarts to much oil how freaking stupid do you get lol.

yeah i usually do, do my own but i figured what the hell i got the extra money let somone else do it, ill never do that again. i redid it to make sure everything was good to go.

there wasnt any fees i pushed it all the way back to my place. it was about 4 blocks. im glad that it didnt blow, cuz i just bought all new tires $230, $50 alignment, put a tachometer in which the tach costed $49.99, so wasnt ready for a engine swap quite yet lol, but i will be soon

ITS RUNNING AWSUME
