So, I just got done replacing the head on my 92 accord about a month ago. I took the time to match port and polish the new head. About three weeks later, I'm driving on the freeway and heard a loud noise, the oil light came on and the temperature skyrockets. I shut the motor down and coast to the side of the road. Took the oil pan off yesterday and found the connecting rod cap and half of the rod in the pan. Also there is a hole the size of my fist in the block.

My question is, does anyone know where I can get a quality short block on the web or in AZ? Please don't tell me to get rid of the car, it's still cheaper to fix and there's nothing I hate more than a car payment.

Thanks

John

 

You can always source a JDM F22A block off Ebay. Just make sure the seller's a US JDM Importer with good feedbacks.

 

Ok, I found a block and after a lot of soul searching, I think I want to build it for a turbo. Do you guys have any suggestions as to parts?

 

Forged Pistons
Clevite Bearings (Federal Mogul)
Heavy duty Rods (if the budget allows)
Copper head gasket or quality composite.
High Volume Oil Pump
Sleeve Girdle

Have the block hot tanked (cleaned)
etc, etc etc
