me and rick (phoenixb16aguy) had just picked up my old lady, in route to "thunderbird mountain" about 9-10 or so miles away. we(my eg, his ef, both b16 powered) were making some vtec noise, as he said.. all of a sudden(ay about 6500 rpm, about to shift), BOOM. sounds like a binch of tiny little rocks bouncing around in my engine bay. I hit the gas, nothing happens. i look in the rear view mirror, i see nothing but white.. so i pull over, and notice i've left quite a trail of oil.. so we figure out that i broke a rod, and poked a hole in the block.
we found a guy selling a jdm b16a longblock, minus the head.. so i bought it for $100.. turns out that it has basically brand spanking new p73 AO pistons in it. swapped the usdm b16a3 head. tomorrow, (tuesday) we well be pulling the blown one, and dropping in the new one! should be a fun day!
pics to come shortly..
