Hi. i bought my car basically how it is...99 civic SI i dont know much but, ill try to explain as best as i can. It had a b18c5 engine swap. among a handful of other things. i noticed about a month back the timing belt had a hole in it. the engine only had about 2,500 miles on it so i was quite amazed. anyway...exactly one week ago i had the belt replaced at a mazda shop....its been running fine except ever since the install its been having trouble idling when i first start it....it keeps dipping below 1 thousand rpm's then goes back to 1 thousand...keeps going back and forth. usually ending up stalling. And its actually stalled on me 2 times while i was driving. anyway, today i was shifting from 3rd to 2nd when i hear a really odd low pitch humming noise coming from the exhaust..as im about to roll to a stop i feel something almost fallout of the engine.. i could feel it in the clutch...but i looked on the road and found nothing. i have no clue as to what it is...but now my cars engine wont turn over. and the timing belt on the front side moves about 1 inch in either direction. plz give me some insight

I can almost gurantee that this ENGINE does not have 2,500 Miles on it.. Theres a rule.. When buying an engine for a swap from someone or someplace add about 20-30k miles to that.

 

Unlesssssssssssssss...they have the paperwork to prove it.

 

Yeah, I'd really like to see some proof of the engine swap being legit. Do you have that?

 

repaired the car at a mazda shop, LMAO.
