What are my odds... - Honda Prelude Forum

EpDarks · 02-09-2002, 04:36 PM

I have a question. What are the odds of spinning a rod/throwing a bearing/etc. with an un-modded car?? Basically I want to know how hard is it to do some SERIOUS engine damage with a stock 4th Gen Prelude. VTEC, H22A if that makes a difference...

Has anyone here ever done serious damage on a stock engine?? Thanks guys.

well, i started screwing up my car after I started modding it... but before I bought the car the owner rebuilt my old H23 b/c it had a bad crank bearing and was wearing a groove into the crank... and it was stock...

Depends on how you mantain and drive your car. I've heard of many people losing a crank bearing.

Crank bearing huh?? Thanks, I'll watch out for that.

Anyone else??

Your car could be completly stock or highly modified and you could do the EXACT same thing.. It's called no oil or lack of. I did it this past Oct. I have quite a few bolt ons, and had no internal engine work at all.

Sux pretty bad..

Mine turned out to be a bad oil pump, too. All I have is type S cams and the usual(I/E).

Hehe

I liked them. I could definitely tell the difference. But I'm getting the J-Spec motor really soon, so I going to sell those with my old engine (partly because I don't feel like taking them out!! They took so long for us to get them in that I don't even want to deal with it. Plus, I'll probably get more $$ for my engine if I leave them in.)

I've actualy heard this problem on several occasions. I think it happened to 93si4ws on his last motor while driving.

Hasn't happened to me yet, although I drove it for 5 miles w/o oil because the balancer shaft seal backed out.
