I'm going to be purchasing an accord lx shortblock to replace mine after the incident. I just want to make sure for certain, I won't have to do any mods to out my Accord EX head on it.

 

Is this a joke?

 

why not just answer the question then make a mochery(sp?) of it?

 

hrm, what makes you think its a joke? I don't see any or the like in the post, its question that I want an answer to before I spend the money on the block. I have asked around and so has the seller, no one has said for certain it would work.

 

no it will work fine as long as you have the proper ecu...meaning the EX ecu

 

Yeah, i have everything. My block just has a nice hole in it right now and i've located LX bottom end. Wanted to make sure it'd work before i bought it.

 

yea it will bolt right up. was the previous motor vtec or non-vtec? just curious

 

why not locate an EX motor and make it easier for yourself?

i have one for sale if you can't find one locally.

 

Currently there is a vtec motor in my car w/ a giant hole in the block. I have located a LX bottom end from a member here. I wanted to make sure it would work before I bought it, thats all.

KG, if it turns out I need to replace the head as well, i'll shoot you an email or something.

 

what did u do to it?

 

Thats what I want to know!

 

My little brother was driving it, he said the oil light came on for a sec, then BOOM! Best guess I have come up w/ is the oil pump failed, or just through a rod. The motor had ~190k miles on it, the last 110k miles have been very hard on it w/ track days, autoxs, drag racing, etc. Plus it has been hydrolocked twice, so I was kinda expecting it to go.

 

there was a recall on some oil cap thing...check it out, maybe it wasnt his fault...i got mine fixed at the dealership for free....id definately look into it if i were you.

 

There was still oil in the motor and oil pan. So i don't think that was it.

 

maybe he over-reved it..mis shifted i dont know i would check the tranny while the engine is out, just to make sure
edit* you road race correct? how well does the accord do? what class do you fall under?

Did anyone notice the topic spelling? "Reguarding"? Do you mean "regarding"?

 

not sure about you but i see the correct spelling.

 

So what?
