Thread: Civic motors

  1. #1

    Default Civic motors

    Well, I knew I should've changed the timing belt, but alas....

    This morning I started my 97' Civic and immediately heard Bam, fwap, fwap, fwap, and quickly shut it off.

    Maybe I got away with only one bent valve? Think there's any hope?

    Anybody have a decent source for used Honda motors? No I don't plan to upgrade, just want my
    good gas mileage.

    Thanks for any help.

    Funny guy. The flap was the belt slapping.

    It was just a backed out spark plug. Woo hoo.
