guys hi.

99 SH 38,000miles

3rd gear 7500rpm ..............Missed 4th..... ......... hit 2nd............11xxx RPM.. ....ZIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!! OPPPSSSS! damn cable shifter.

4 people in the car. approx 3700lbs

No problem except for a standard valve tick.
Many other motors would still be lying on the ground in pieces.
Hale the Might H22!

Ok so i did a valve adjustment.
No luck.

besides 1-2 bent valves what else do you think could of broke?

Valve spring.
Rocker arm.

I figure its only 1 or 2 valves. the tick isnt that bad.

I had the same problem with my B18C1 a long time ago. and just lived with it cause it quited down after a few hundred miles. put another 30-40K on it hitting 8K everyday with No problems.


so im going to
Remove head.
Reface valve seat.
Replace valve(s)
Replace Head gasket, intake gasket, timing belt
and be done with it.

do you think there is any thing else to look for.

Has anybody else done this... im sure somebody has.

Thanks alot.


Hey is the Hondata Heatshield intake Gasket worth the $60?

 

You do a compression test? What kind #s u put down?

 

nice money shift. had that happen to me. figured out it was 12,314RPM

check out russ' money shift

 

no compression check yet. will do one this weekend.

 

I myself missshifted at high rpms and I thought I really screwed it up. For a couple of days the idle was messed up (it idled at like 1100 all the time) and then it just went back to normal and it runs all good again.

It's no biggie anyway I'm going to build my head with a whole Skunk2 valvetrain anyway .

Good luck though and let me know how it turns out and what was wrong with..

 

I agree on the compression test. That would tell you if any of the valves are bent badly. When you adjusted the valves, were any of them off a lot? If so, those would be prime suspects for something bent or broken. As for the tic, are you sure it's in the head and not the block? It could be LMA related. Does the tick go away at higher RPM? I replaced some old sticking LMA's and that made the head more quiet at idle. When you have the valve cover off, you can push down the middle rockers with your finger and see if they move independently, smoothly, and don't stick down. The sticking down part is what could be causing your tick. I hope you get it sorted out and without a lot of $$$. I guess it could have been a lot worse if that is any consolation...

 

ive done the same thing before...only once though.....i was going 80 on the highway and wanted to downshift to 4th just for fun and i went into 2nd...as luck would have it i had no problems or ticking of any kind.

 

When i did the valve adjustment heres where they were at.

5 6 6 6 6 6 6 5

7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7


im hoping to be able to just reface 1 or 2 valve seats and throw a new valve or 2 in there.

I will probably get to it monday after next.

 

oh and the tick does not go away at higher rpms.
just gets quit'r due to engine noise.
but when your cruise'n at around 3k or so its defenitly noticable.

damn, i thought I did bad by going to 8500 rpm. How do your cranks survive this kind of beating? I am starting to get vibration through the gas and clutch pedals. THe engine also puts some vibrations after 3k. Is this probably a problem with the bottom end?

 

oh man that sucks, good luck

 

just curious, but what happened to your rev limiter?

 

Rev limiter wont do **** when your wheels/tranny are making the engine rotate that fast.

the ECU just closes its eyes and says S H I I I I I T T T!!!!!!

Exactly. My ex gf did that in my car. Except I told her to downshift from 5th to 4th at 105mph and she hit 2nd. The tach went over into the ******* speedo.

The motor was built then though, so it didn't do anything but explode the pressure plate.

Oh, and I was behind Russ when he did that. The road disappeared from the smoke. LOL

 

how could his crank have possibly survived though?

 

i got lucky too.....did the exact same thing, only had to replace clutch and flywheel....ate up all the organics and put a few hot spots on the flywheel....ask Sackdz about my luck

 

dam i shoudl be thankful i practice shifting at like 3k , i mishifted once or twice but it only shot up to like 5k or a bit more before i pulled clutch out, sorry to hear about your run of badluck

 

Damn why are so many of you mis-shifting? arnet you palming the shifter?

I saw this happen in a mates Prelude but that was just cos he was trying to shift really fast instead of concentrating on the accuracy!

But damn thats sucks getting an annoying tick, hope it you get it sorted

 

typeSH Girl, At least it wasnt as bad as what happened to this guy

I personally think the hondata heatshield is a great mod - before installing it, intake maifold was so hot, coulnt really hold ur hand on it. now, i can grope the crap out of it after ripping on the car for a few hours. it probably lowers intake temp a LOT. installing is kind of a mf though.
