Finally I got my CRX running. I let it idle a little bit and then took it around the parking lot, everything sounded fine... then BANG! The oil light came on and the car was shaking like crazy, I coasted back into the shop and popped the hood... to find a finger sized hole on the front and back of the block, oil all over the place. I don't know what I'm going to do now, think it's time to look for a cleaner shell and new block.

wt..............f?

Was the oil light not on before? were you revving the crud out of it? was that rod abused in the past? what life did the bearings already have?

Thats just weird...

ahhhhh damn man, sorry, **** and i thought i was having bad luck

No, oil was full, I pulled the motor out last week and refilled it and hadn't got it to move since. The rods and bearings were fine when I rebuilt it over the summer, and I was only at 3000 RPM.
