Car: 93 Civic CX
Motor: B18a1
Problem:
^The piece circled above, slipped out of the bushing and caused the linkage to rest on the exhaust. This was my third run when it happend.

What could of caused it? The motor has been in for about 4 weeks now.

 

try a new bushing maybe.

 

what kind of exhaust do you have? are any of your hangers bent at all?

 

its a custom 2 1/4". no they arent bent. im thinking it has something to do with the violent movement of the engine when lauching?

 

same **** has happened too me,

most of the time its a combination of loose bolts and a motor that moves around to much. its not a big deal

thannnnnnk you yeah engine movement

 

oh yeah I'm not sure isn't there a nut on the other side holding that bushing in place. It's been a while since I looked a shifter assembly.

edit: nm but I just seen shifter assembly pic from CRX and the end of the shaft right after the bushing, it's spread apart, here I will get a picture in a second

Take a look at that

bump for my bro, would an engine damper help, like the j's racing or those others on the market?

no, motor mount inserts(37shipped)/new solid mounts would wok (300+), but not a engine damper. That damper is designed like ****, because it on only one side of the engine (instead of center or both sides) It can cause baise movement and will have the engine flex because the one side will basicly not move, the other will be realtively free. Not the best idea. Don't belive the JDM hype.

 

tks for the input guys. im going to try to put something behind it like those adjusters that are used on intakes and see if that could hold

Links didnt work but i see what your saying. I just saw my SOHC linkage and the end is flared out. guess thats what imma do.

 

A short shifter can also cause the linkage to hit the exhaust pipes.

 

thats not what happened. i dont have a short shifter. the linkage fell out from the bushing and now is resting on the exhaust
