    Ouch. I don't wish this to anybody. But can you believe that there's people that actually can do it with a stock engine. I haven't seen it on an Integra engine but I seen it once on a Civic engine. I ask the guy how he manage to do it cause I've haven't able to break mine even if I've been reving it 8600 RPM for two years and I've turbocharged it for one year after that, never had any engine failure.

    Here's his answer: Geez, you're lucky. This is the second time it happen to me. Well I guess some people can break anything, whatever how strong and protected it can be.

    BTW, I always try to see the bright side of things. In that case, you don't have to look very far to find out what's wrong with the engine. wink

    WOW!

    I have a B18B with a hole twice that size out of the back and a silver dollar size out the front sitting in my garage, OUCH!

    Mines out of a 91GS with an AUTO!!!

    Probably never seen redline and BONE STOCK!

    I've heard from my mechanic he's seen a few and they all look the same, I thought it was because of the weak rods in the 18B, Now I'm scared.
