ok heres the deal, i have a honda crx si with 118k miles on it. the clutch clips really bad even in 1st, (i cant afford a new one im 16 give me a break flamers) so in the low gears i shift at 6500 so that it will actually grab. well i know this is hard on the engine, but i need to get to work. well tonite i was driving it around and the oil temp ligth came on and then my power brakes went out and my car made a loud clanging nouse and stalled. now when i drive it it is having a loud clickety noise. i popped the hood to see whats up and it sounded like it was coming from the head. well the last week i got an oil change and afteri got it my car ran shitty and burned more oil than it used to and just was overall being a lil gay. this sound might be a valve bent or soemting? i hope its not the block because i just purchased everything i need for a mini me swap . if its the head, big deal but i hope its not the rods or something. no check engine light and i also put soem more oil in im not sure if im low or not b.c it was about 11 at ngith when this happened. ok thanks to all who reply

 

dude, sounds like u spun a rod bearing to me......... i dont believe its a bent valve........

 

**** thats not cool. how muhc is new rod beraing. damn it all how gay i cant afford this!!! so does nayone have any other ideas what it could be?

 

would it still run? because it runs ok

 

sounds like rod bearing and if u drive it u making damage worse normally new bearing would fix it but depending on how much u drove u could need new crank or to be resurfaced but rod bearings are like 50 bucks for single cams

 

rod bearings aren't too much but rarely can you replace just the rod bearing. chances are with the continued driving you probably scored the crank so that will have to be removed and if it can be machined then you will have to do that, buy the rod bearings, new main bearings, thrust washers, and an oil pan gasket. if the crankshaft can't be salvaged then you will need to buy another crankshaft plus the bearings, gasket, ect...
