Alright, so my motor pretty much went. it's a 97 civic ex, it knocks terribly bad on an off rythme. My guess with the sound would be a wrist pin locking up causing piston slap. So now the motor's out of the car, and soon to be torn down to find the actual cause.
As far as rebuild, I want to build it up some to give her a little more pep. and I know with a small amount spent i won't get much, however I'd still like to do it. I was thinking a typical rebuild, new gaskets, bearings, honing, seat the valves and re angle them. But I thought i might throw some eagle H-beam rods in there for future boost. and some high compression pistons for now. maybe a mild street cam. Am I on the right track? any suggestions on brands, or maybe tweaking the plans a bit to better suit what im going for? any input would be great!
