but make sure your bob on every exact quarter turn, best to do it with two people.

That sounds the same as mine did about 3 months ago were my oil pump died on me, leaving the engine dry as drok!

I was driving in third and hit VTEC and then the awful noise of what sounded like a belt came flying off and lurched the car.

Turned out I blew the top end off my H22A8, made the same noise and knocked in time with the RPM.

Sorry to hear it buddy!

So i didnt get a wink of sleep last night worrying about swapping engines and the like.
Went to do the valve adjustments tonight and went to take the ht leads out. #1 provided no resistance. it wasnt seated on the plug properly and the little nipple thing at the top of the plug was loose. all put back together properly for a quick test and the knocking is totally gone...

Time to swap out the super 4s for ngk i think!

Thanks for all the help guys. gonna do the valve adjustment at some point anyway now i know how to do it, and this whole incident has scared me enough that im gonna look into getting my oil leaks sorted!

What you doing with the spare motor you had lined up?

Glad to hear it's a small and easy fix though
