I have a 2000 civic dx and my engine started knocking yesterday. I was wondering can it be fixed or do i need a new engine. And if i do need a engine where can i get a good price on gsr, si, or ls engine.

That could be one of the many things that can cause that. Start out by checking the basics and ****. Also make sure you have oil and **** in the engine.

 

well let the damn thing in already... don't leave it out in the cold.

if you're looking for a swap check hmotorsonline, i hear they're good... i have no experience w/ them though. go Big or go home

 

I changed the oil last night

 

well first thing to check would be oil you might have low oil and not enough pressure, next check your valve lash you might need to tighten your valves or you might have a bad wrist pin on the piston if it comes down to the wrist pin junk the motor and go with your b-18 setup you want, good luck

 

Could be bearings. Did you notice any metal shavings or flakes in your oil when you drained it?

 

no the oil did not have any metal shavings or flakes

 

what basic things should i check

 

well you could get an automotive stethascope and use it to find out were the knock is coming from and that will point out the prob. any local autozone should have a stethascope

i had to drop my oil pan to see the shavings cuz they wouldn't drain out.

 

just change the engine.. totaljdm will treat you good.. they treated me good
