Blew My Motor (pics)
Ok, so I was drving along the interstate doing 65 @ around 4k RPM. All of a sudden BOOM! Smoke and Oil are everywhere. I pull i over and there is a huge hole in the bottom of the block.
Check It Out I got the motor from JapanStarMotor.com. I would NOT recomend them to anyone. for the motor to be in for less then a day and this happen, something was wrong internally. We had everything double checked, and it was running perfect. Now I gotta try and work things out with the company. The motor is under warranty for 90 days, so we'll see. ** fixed the link Last edited by Posey88cvic4dr; 09-27-2004 at 05:10 PM. Reason: Fixed the link

Re: Blew My Motor (pics)
Japanstarmotor.com is the same place as another internet jdm motors site (naganojapanese.com). The layout is exactly the same on both sites, just different names. There's a warning on honda-tech.com about the shitty motors they sell. I guess this only proves that fast. Check out this thread made by the guys at totaljdm.com: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=801338

That is the single smartest thing I have ever heard anyone say on these boards. zc's arnt that great of a motor, near impossable to find parts for because it was never sold in america, and something is allways breaking on them... as evident if you watch these forums.
