I think the FullRace conrods are served with tossed salad too.. Seems to be popular combining tuning parts with food these days.

oil light comes on at either 5 or 7 psi, i can't recall... either way, it's pretty much too late.

well, my brother was driving the car when it locked up. he didnt see any light. it was about time for that motor to go tho.

my friend drained the oil today from the motor before he took it apart.. he said there was probably 1 quart in there

Yeah I disassembled that beast today, metal everywhere.
You know something is wrong when you pull off the head and the piston is above the deck and has 4 nice little indentions in it from the valves or when you turn it over on the engine stand and hear things moving and banging around in the oil pan. haha, well anyways, someone want a crank with one bad rod journal?

my mom's civic had the oil light turn on.. I stopped the car, walked home, grabbed some oil and topped it off. I wouldn't trust that damn light at all.

Honda oil lights might as well be green "$$$$" lights.

Re: 160K miles of 8K RPM runs... and no oil = (.RJ)

well it all started when i was getting low compr. on #3 cyl. so i thought.. ok, rings are starting to go. the motor was old and raggedy. so i would check the oil every week. like once or twice. but it was blowing oil faster than i though. at first i thought it just seized up and i could put a quart, turn it over by hand a few times.. then start it up. but that wasnt the case here

It was great, since it was locked up I didnt have to go find my crank holder to get the balancer/pulley bolt off. Haha
