yea for example - it can be running on your other 3 cylinders - while the one with the broken connecting rod - beats the hell out of your internals.
you can rebuild it - but in most cases - it's going to be cheaper to just get a new engine.

New motor or rebuild. Trust me I stupidly hydrolocked 2 motors before I learned. 1 was gone for sure and another had your symptoms. And I ran it for about a month and it just gets worse n worse. If you have a oil pressure gauge you will see it drops to about 3psi when your on the throttle. It gets bad. So rebuild it or get a new motor. I will tell you something tho. A friend brought this to my attn and I thought about it and it made sense. I was going the JDM route with my Lude, and I wanted the H22a over my H22a1 just b/c it was true JDM. :Blah: Now I was going to rebuild the motor exactly the same either way, so why did I want to go spending and extra $1500-$2500 on a motor that just didnt have a *1* after it? My friend made sense and I used that cash to build a motor. I got a good guy back home on the West Coast (WA STATE) who can pretty much build it capable of 40psi (which you wont hit but it will be built strong) for around $2k So yea think about it. Rebuild it!

i agree - if you are going to go turbo at some point or do any internal work yourself at some point - the a1 variant will do fine - if you want NA, and pretty much stock - hunt down a jdm h22a.
