Sounds like valves (Could have dropped a valve), timing.

Pull valve cover.

[thegreatdane]

put your seatbelt on darn it!

from the little I could hear by that shotty footage it sounds busted. Do a compression test on it.
What have you been doing with it?

[itzdave]

yea, id pull off that valve cover and see whats up...

Haha i dont need a seat belt, im not going anywhere soon.And when i pull the valve cover what am i looking for?

[89lx-r]

Oh and the motor makes kind of a screech noise sometimes, and it will barely drive enough to move it.

[89T]

that sounds like rod knock.
pull the oil pan to make sure.

[89lx-r]

ok well first thing in the morning ill take my valve cover, and my oil pan off and check things out, take some pictures. Ill keep posted.

[itzdave]

when u pull the valve cover, look at the cam and look at the little teeter-totter things that are touching it (these are ur rocker arms). check to make sure they are all snugg and dont have too much free play...

I think a new engine is in the very immediate future, that sounds like everything in there is about to fly apart.

[89lx-r]

ok well i pulled my valve cover, and all of em are fine and snug. How much am i lookin to pay for a new engine? like from a junkyard

junkyard or keep watching on here from time to time, a decent engine will show up for sale, will cost a bit for shipping, but you know where it came from, and you can be pretty sure of it's actual condition.

ok thx,

[Civic Accord Honda]

do compression test. then drain oil and check for metal shavings... also check fireing order and make sure all 4 cylinders are firing

IF you dont own a compression tester run down to your local Vatozone and rent one

I dropped my oil pan to check the rod bearings, and the oil sender thing started dropping out metal chunks and shavings, and there everywhere in my oil pan. Big chunks, little slivers, flakes, and its a copper-ish looking color. As for my rod bearings, the 2nd one moves but it takes a little force, but my 3rd moves about 1/2 in. in all directions.

[lostforawhile]

time for a new engine.

[Civic Accord Honda]

yep time to go jy hunting for a low mile engine

[89lx-r]

haha YAY! i cant wait lol. Anyone know what the metal is? maybe cylinder wall?, or bearings?

It's bearings. They plate the steel bearing shells with copper so the babbit will stick better.

[89lx-r]
