oil warning after swap
Hello,
Got en new crx enigine (d16a9) in my civic because the other broke down. After te swap the engine started and there were no problems. A week later (to busy whit work) i had some time to finish my civic but after a few minutes the oil warning light turned on. Also has the head some more noize than usual. I think that the head isnt getting oil. On the engine is a new filter and oil. Any sugestions what to check?

Do me a favor and dont drive the car till you figure out what it is. If you can get a hold of a dolley, take it to a shop. Have them check oil pressure and go from there (unless you can do it yourself). No oil getting to any part of the engine is a sure way to ruin it, quick.

Re: oil warning after swap
take the valve cover off and start the motor, seriously. If you have oil getting to the head you will definatly know. By the way I dont mean start it and run it, just long enough to see what happens.
As to dereks comment about ht 9 months, I have a motor that wasnt started for almost 10 years and I put a fresh battery on it and pour a little gas in the carb and it started up.

Oh you mean just start it by letting the starter motor run the motor. The spark plugs not conected.
