So today started out bad as hell found out my rear main seal is shot, the burnt valve is worse and clutch is going fast. Well called around to price repairs and wasn't enjoyin the prices I was hearing. So now knowing this motor is bout gone I went and ordered a H23A Vtec to replace the H23A1thats in it. So for now I have to creep the car till the new motor arrives and gets dropped in. My poor prelude.

 

Ouch. Yeah, I have a bad rear main seal, which caused my clutch to go out really quick. Feel your pain. I wouldn't drive it any more, if you can do that. Could just sell your old engine and make a little of the price back on the JDM H23A. Where are you getting the engine from?

 

Sadly I have to seeing as right now its th dd. And I'm sellin the old motor to a buddy for his Frankenstein build, and I'm getting the motor from jdm power

 

Ouch that sucks dude. Never heard of jdm power. I was always told the good place to get is from hmotors.

 

Yeah well tight budget a H23A for 945 you can't beat

 

Correction its jdm racing motors

 

Yeah, I can totally understand that feeling. I've had to replace a lot of stuff on my car about $1500 and only drove it like 600 miles since buying it.

 

UPDATE

motor is shipped and will.arrive tuesday

 

lol hope that's a vtec engine

 

Everything posted says H23A, which would be the VTEC engine.

OP, do you have an ecu and header lined up, as those will be different from the H23A1 to the H23A, if that is what you are doing.

 

Ecu is a p28 and header us getting picked up today

 

Well she off to the shop motor will be dilivered in 24 hours than the fun begins

 

You gotta change your name...

 

Hell nah it will be just straight up funny

 

They make an H23a engine that is not vtec, but as long as you know u order the vtec, shouldn't be a problem.

 

Alright just to clear it up my name comes from the fact my car has a H23A1, but I ordered a H23A to replace it
