Ok I gotta 89 civic with the dpi d15.I was riding one day and it started to make a clankity clank noise.It got worse,and eventually a pretty big clank.I can crank it and it will stay cranked,running like str8 up shit but when i try to go it will go 2 ft. and die.Its running rich,the oil lights on and when i put oil in it it goes right through in like 20 min.I'm not driving it because i assume it is blown.What the hell man.I know thats what d15s do but im balling on a budgit so....any suggestions?

buy my engine! , lol , i am sure someone on here will have a bit of knowledge about it for ya!

**Halfwit** · 12-01-2006, 08:03 AM

sound like rod knock? how loud of a clank is it? loud?

listen to it as it idles (wit hhood up) and try to se where the majority of the noise is coming from.

**Josh8988** · 12-01-2006, 08:11 AM

Yeah drunk im still gonna buy your motor but i was just wanting to know if this was salvageable,halfwit yeah its pretty damn loud i think i threw a rod but would it still crank up and run?

**Halfwit** · 12-01-2006, 08:33 AM

ehh i believe i t can still run, but like u said ull get no where. itll basically idle getting compression fom other cylinders, and knocking is from bad one. and that would be why it idle so shitty.

**Josh8988** · 12-01-2006, 08:53 AM

so is it blown or can it be fixed.and if so about how much will it cost

**Halfwit** · 12-01-2006, 08:56 AM

Hell yeah I got my old motor out today should have the new one in tomorrow.I put everything the new one was missing on to.Where the studs are missing on the first port of the exhaust manifold,is it still ok to drive?

**DrunkScotsman** · 12-02-2006, 11:04 PM

i myself am not sure , i know it will be loud! but engine performance wise i dunno

**Josh8988** · 12-03-2006, 05:39 PM

I dont give a damn about it being loud b/c im running off straight headers anyway.So it wont make much of a difference.But i can always put my head on there mines still good its the bottom that was all fucked up.
