Well i lost my engine due to a sudden storm. Water Hydrolocked my engine and rod #3 came through the front of my engine... I don't want to loose the car so what do you all think would be a good replacement motor?

either the same stock one (a20) or if you can find one get a B20 from a euro or jdm 3g accord (closest to stock engine swap you can do)
show some pics!! its always cool to see a block with a rod sticking out. but its hella expesive to do a motor swap so just find another 88 lxi motor is what i would do.
welcome to the club. i threw the same rod, it sucks. and i was 200 miles from home when it happened too.
threw a rod as well, i gave up the 3gee after that....i def feel your pain, luckily i was able to get home before the rod found a nice place sit....
lol now you got a buddy.Quote:

A little off topic, I had a 92 ford Tempo with a 4cyl that granaded the rod, and the piston just sat stuck up in the bore, I drove it for like 200 miles with 3 cyls doing 85 on the freeway, it never died. lots of metal in the pan though.
I have a Tempo too,what's the mileage on it when that happened?Quote:

note: by B series, i mean B16s, B18s, and the B20B and B20Z. B20As don't share any parts with the other B series, therefore, they're not a real B series to me. their crank is too big. they're more like an H motor.
Is this the 150 HP 1. Gen B16A (called B16A1 in Europe)?Quote:

Haha, yeah!
obd0 JDM B16s were 160 hp. obd1 and obd2 JDM b16s were 170 hp. i have never heard of a european 150 hp b16. if it exists, i assume honda lowered the compression ratio because they didn't think europeans would use premium gas (much like what they did with the B17 in the US, but without stroking it.)
Well Here are the pics of my engine and my poor car.

you show images like that with ftp, plus those pics are HUGE! it took me a min to download one pic with cable internet(then again.., it's going a little slow tonight..., but still).
i cant see shit even after clicking it. Bro host it on imageshack.com and link it.
a few hours ago those links would show me a folder that had several sub-folders in it. at least one contained a BUNCH of porn. thanks!
uhh, who ever told me to get an acount on another service... what i posted is my server.
I need to tweak it though. sorry about the huge pics.
