Hey there...

I've been a driver/lover of hondas all my life. have 4 currently. a 95 civic coupe. a 92 accord 4door w/ a h22a swap (currently deceased). and two bikes..

anyhow. I picked up the accord a week ago for 800 before taxes. its got some goodies on it I couldnt pass up the project. I was ripping it the other night after re-doing the front end, brakes ball joints uca steering rack.. and changed the oil. well after pulling to a 100 and slamming the brakes hard to try and bed them in, the car started to stall out. I turned the key it fired back up and i drove off. it has a stage 3 clutch and a lightweight flywheel, i thought maybe i forgot to hit the clutch or let it out of 5th... but as i was driving back to drop a friend off, it did it again. then at the stop light, it stalled out. I turned the key, it cranked and cranked then started but i had to milk the gas to keep it firing. about a half mile from my buddies house i slowed down from highway speeds and the car just stalled out and it hasnt ran since. i turn the key, and the car will not crank. a buddy who knows hondas pretty well grabbed a 19mm and a long *** extention and a socket to turn the crank pulley to see if the motor went, and sure enough, we cant rotate it. soo judging by this I am thinking i may have spun a rod bearing???

but I do not know much about motors, I;m just learning car stuff really. anyone have any input?

Have you checked for fuel and spark? If the crank turns that doesn't necessarily mean that the top end of the engine is as well, ie. the cams. Check the timing belt and distributor to make sure the timing is correct on the engine. The timing belt may have slipped a tooth.

 

crank does not turn. will check on that tonight. thanks

 

Sorry missed the "we cant rotate it" in your first post. Is the transmission in Neutral/out of gear?

Well if that's the case then you probably have a spun bearing or some other internal problem. You will have to tear into the bottom end to figure out exactly what it is.

You could try removing all the spark plugs and see if it will rotate then? You could have fluid (coolant, fuel, water) in one of the cylinders (hydro-lock)

 

how much fluid is nec. ? and how do i fix that? i guess no matter what i must pull the motor yeah?
