    So I bought a 2000 auto Prelude with approximately 170,000kms a couple of months ago. The dude said it had "no compression" and burnt lots of oil. I bought it and got it into my garage. I decided that I would try to rebuild the engine and get the car back to decent condition. The only problem is...

    I've had this prelude about a year and the engine recently blew (Age, Winter, Bad Luck). What I know is the head gasket blew and my mechanic who looked at it told me the cylinder head would need replacing. My knowledge is fairly limited but I intend to learn so my question is this: I want to...

    Hi Yall, so long story short, on New Years Eve my stock H22a4 blew up and melted a piston on me. She ran strong for 242,000 miles original to the car. Well some things happen for a reason, the previous summer, i actually purchased a used F20B that had a blown piston from being boosted by...

    hey guys, so i blew the head gasket on my lude a few years ago now. funds are finally in the right place, so im looking to rebuild the engine. seeing as im already going through to the head of the engine, i figured id just do the whole thing and start fresh. I'm wondering if anyone has a few...

    Hello! I have a 1990 2.0 S with a B20A3 engine and D2A4 manual transmission. Since I bought it, third gear grinds when I try to engage it. Should I try to find another transmission, or can I replace just third and all the bearings/seals and what not? I assume any transmission I can find at a...

    So I've been doing some research, and before I pull the trigger on a rebuild kit, I wanted to get some other feedback. This is somewhat for performance, but primarily for my sound system. I'm not looking to have anything too crazy (at least not yet), but I'm a very nitpicky basshead and like to...

    EDIT: My apologies if this should be under a more general topic, I figured since my car is a 5th gen, this is where I would post I recently bought a 97 Prelude that came with a spare (yet broken) transmission since the one which is in the car has some nasty grind into 2nd. (And has since died...

    Alright guys, me and my friend cody are getting ready to rebuild his 2001 prelude type sh. Its leaking oil like crazy so we are going to finally strip it amd rebuild. The final result we want is an economical daily driver with a bit of an attitude. So does anybody have a budget build list and...

    I know you all are going to say search the forums, so I will start off by saying that I did and I have found nothing. If it is there I apologize. I just got into the prelude game and just sold my Ej8 civic. I bout the prelude for $2,000 off an evident crackhead and rebuilt the engine and bout...

    :smhair:Hey guys, I have been a part of this site a while now, playing the role of the guy which looks through the threads on wheels and cheap mods which I would consider for my own prelude; I have come to the conclusion my mechanic has died or ended up in jail because he has disappeared and the...

    My '89 SI has 430,000 miles on it and still has great gas mileage (33.7 mpg). My body has some rust in the rear wheel wells but not bad. Suspension is good. AC is gone but I don't care about that. In general, like me, the car's got a lot of miles on it and I like it enough to put something...

    hey guys so im looking way into the future, just trying to get an idea of what i want to do if i decide to do a bunch of engine work on the Lude. my options are. Rebuild my B21a1, either get a B20 block and bore it out, or re-sleeve with iron, and then have a reliable boost on it, 5 or 6...

    1999 H22a4 Cylinder Head $200 + shipping 60,000 on rebuild (160,000 overall) Reason for selling: My timing belt snapped at around 35 MPH in 4th or 5th gear a few months ago. I immediately shut off the car. I did not run a compression test on the motor in the car, which I should have. I...

    I have a few seals left over from my motor swap. Some were from miscommunication between my grandpa and I (ordering the same parts) and ordering some things that were included with new parts. All parts are NIB (new in bag). All prices are shipped. Rear/Front Main Seals (2) Part # 91214-PLE-003...

    hey guys so a long time ago, while doing my first rebuild in high school (1990 B21a1) i was replacing the intake PGM-FI gasket when i noticed there was two identical gaskets in the box. didn't really think much of it, i just used one and left the other. im looking into rebuilding it again...

    I have an H22A4 with what I believe are bad piston rings. I plan on doing a compression test soon (tomorrow?) to double check my hunch, but I am definitely getting oil leak around the rings. Upon a fresh crank I get a large cloud of oil smoke on my first use of VTEC. I am hoping to get this...

    alright so here's the deal. I've been letting my father use my prelude to drive to work and what not and its been nothing but hell ever since. random broken pieces all over the car (center armrest, hood release cable, broken alarm remote, etc. etc.). The latest thing he has done is refuse to...
