yup i think it happend .... when removing the oil pan, what needs to be done to drop the pan. i know i got to drain the oil and remove some nuts but is there anything in the that would make it difficult to drop, the pan.. plz input needed

 

opps btw its a 96 ex with a d16y8 sohc vtec

 

well you have to pull the exhaust off seeing as how it goes directly underneath the oil pan. i sure hope you're not going to try and replace the rod/main bearings with the engine still in the car..

 

^^^^x2.

lol. its going to be HARD AS F*** to replace the rod/main bearings with the engine still on. lol. unless he has a car hoist.
lol

 

Word. You are better off buying another y8 block, or pulling the motor and building it....and buying a HV oil pump.

 

just want to know for sure thats what it the problem,car runs like a champ, just yesterday it made a knocking noise at 3,000 rpm, not loud but sounds ulgy, doesnt smoke, idles fine starts up no problem got plently of oil....................................
only at 3,000 rpms it have a slite knock what else could it be? btw what a HV oil Pump

 

if it is knocking and your still driving it your prolly messing up the crank too
