EG problems!

[Lex_EG93]

I have recently experienced aproblem with my eg civic (Si)

at first it was when i rev my car and leave it in the high revs, i would get a rattle noise coming from the rocker cover.

as soon as i heard this i was also loosing power.

so i decided to flush the oil out, change the oil filter, and put in new oil. then my mate told me that you can get something from super cheap auto that can fix this rattling noise which goes in with your oil.

i change the oil and stuff and it wasnt rattling as much as b4. so i was on my way to super cheap to get the repair oil and as soon as i turned the corner out of my street i heard a big bang as if something snapped and my car turned off!

i tried turning on the car again and it was stuggling to turn on and when it eventualy did turn on the car sounded like fcuking broken down washing machine. the banging noise was even louder and it would then just turn off.

does any1 know what the problem is???

[bennjamin]

perhaps the valves are loose in one or more cylinders and leaving the valves to bounce around ? FFS who knows.

How many k's on your car ?
When was it last serviced ?

Did it TURN over at all or slowly turn over ?

OR did the engine feel like it was "seized"?

[VTi_b0i]

u fcuked ur motor lolll

Can you see any leaking of any liquid anywhere on the engine ? At the back ( below the battery etc) ? Can yuo take some fotos for everyone ?

[Samo]

sounds like the pistons had a meeting with the valves or worse the head

cant see any leaks. . .

i have to go tafe now but ill take some photos and post it up.

and another thing was when i opened the oil cap smoke was coming out of it.

i think the problem is top end not bottom. . ..

[EuroDude]

Sounds pretty bad man.

Timing belt damaged or jumped teeth?

Maybe a tappet came loose and it jumping around in there causing havoc.
Take the rocker cover off with a 12mm socket and have a look at the damage

[ECU-MAN]

your dizzy could of seized

or

cam shaft snapped,

dropped a valve ( rare ) or valve train component

of your spare tyre went flat, ( should be 40psi )

i changed the timing belt like 6mths ago so i dont think its that.

where are the tappets located?

[EuroDude]

The tappets are near the CAMS. But you also wanna check the rocker arms near the CAM's

If you remove the top engine cover (rocker cover) you will see the tappets and rocker arms.

*UPDATE*

i pulled out the dip stick this morning and the oil looked creamy. . .

[90xsi]

head gasket has a gone bye bye, water leaking into oil :(

take off radiator cap when cool and see what color the water/coolant is?

[destrukshn]

head gasket.
lol.
that's sucks balls, time to do a conversion now.
hahaha

[Lex_EG93]

hahaha

hahaha yeah no money though!

another thing if you guys say that it is the head gasket, is that why the engines making that noise?

[EuroDude]

Time to look for a cheap D16A8 at the wreckers ;)

Its pretty expensive rebuilding an engine, let alone doing a conversion.

[destrukshn]

hahaha yeah no money though!

another thing if you guys say that it is the head gasket, is that why the engines making that noise?

what noise? didn't really look at the thread
but i'm guessing no lubrication, is causing the noise, since it's mixed now.
hahaha

[90xsi]

yeah bad lubrication could of caused bearings to nto work/fail etc etc
or done damage to valvetrain etc etc

you have to take the head off to see the damage it has done
hopefully it is minimal

[VTi_b0i]

how come?! whats wrong with it?

lol nothings wrong with it man, its in awsome condition, its just that im selling my car and it will be easier to sell without the b18 in it...

read my intro and you'll know what i mean. . .

is it a b18c7 or c1?

[Lex_EG93]

what do you mean by cheap? $$$?

[bennjamin]

what do you mean by cheap? $$$?

he means your engine sounds liek its stuffed. And will need alot of $$$ for a rebuild.
Its easier / quicker and cheaper to find ANOTHER D16a8 and just install it.

[destrukshn]

read my intro and you'll know what i mean. . .



is it a b18c7 or c1?
yeah no lubrication.
eventually if you keep it running, it will sieze.
lol.

[VTi_b0i]

u have Pm

[Blulude98]

u fcuked ur motor lolll

hahaha!!
Yep motor is r**ted!! Now go out there and buy a twin cam vtec.

[Boban]

Sad to hear what happened to you man, i thought i did my head gasket but i was lucky and it was something else, and a lot cheaper. Like all the other ppls said it would cost you a lot less to get another engine than it would to rebuild yours. And if you are lucky, see if you can find just the block, and reuse as many parts off of you engine (ie. intake manifold, headers, gearbox etc...) we did that when i blew my SR20 and saved about 1000 by just getting the block and not everything.

[Benson]

best option is to get another motor.. Go to any wrecking yard and they will have some...

[Lex_EG93]

any suggestions on cheap wreckers in the west area (fairfield) ?

because i went to blacktown pick n payless and the only had an ek and a eh (GL)

[bennjamin]

drive to smithfield and you have 2 more options -

hontoys and
Honbits.
