91H22Accord Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 ok so i was driving down the road and a loud almost grinding or clicking noise started coming out of the drivers side of the engine. i really didn't know what it was so i just kept driving. The noise got extremely loud so i put the car in neutral, and it automatically shut off on me. The oil light came on. I started the car up again and i had to give it a little gas before it could start. The noise still continued so i just got the car towed Can some one help. is it the timing belt? did it blow, if so, is my engine damaged or is it something else please help :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Sounds more like a blown oil pump. Typically when the timing belt goes, the car dies almost immediately. If it was the timing belt, I highly doubt you would've been able to restart it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Sounds like you busted a connecting rod then. You check the oil in it often? Was it knocking at all beforehand? Connecting rods don't usually just go out, they start knocking for awhile...and then break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91H22Accord Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 there was a knockin noise before but it was very quiet..it only sounded when you floored the car yes..i did check my oil all the time...since i had a crack in the oil pan before..i had to constantly check my oil and check that the oil level didn't go down..once it stareted goin down. i would put more oil in it..but i only had that problem for like a week.. then i changed my oil pan. But yes..the oil level was good before and after this happend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91H22Accord Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 if i busted a connection rod... is that fixable...how much money do i need to spend???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Of course it's fixable, but it has to be replaced. Since you'll have to take apart the whole engine to do it, it would probably be best to upgrade if that was what you were planning on. As soon as you heard ANY kind of knocking sound you should've stopped driving the car immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 you probably spun a rod bearing. you have a lot of different options, but I'm not sure about your money situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Keep it. Take that 2 grand and rebuild the engine. SSR probably has a good selection of parts available. PM him for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 No offense, but an Integra is a better tuning car than an Accord. Up to you though, your money. Check around locally for rebuild kits for your Integra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
