    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    Yes I did, when I swapped the Battery.. I think it's going to just have to be guess and check on this one, there isn't much I can do to induce any of the symptoms, they are all just so random, we''ll see how it goes

    Mike is very good with N.A stuff. He has some monster Arias motors in his shop and is no joke. For anything EFI, Andy is the best bet. I cant think of any shops in the Cities I would let touch my car. Ok, maybe one.

    Because spending money on parts you don't need is a better investment than some cheap tools?? Im pretty sure most members on here that have hondas have fuel pumps laying around that they would give away or sell for less then $10, if you were going to replace that, although since it isn't your problem, that doesn't really help. Get a $10 multimeter and start checking your sensors, otherwise I would guess dizzy or FPR. I would even consider hooking up an ecu to it and datalogging what the motors doing if you want sometime. BTW The problem is really that it just wants Mo' Boost

    Have you taken the pistons out yet? Sounds like either a cold seize, or a spun bearing. If the piston expands too fast before the rest of the motor, your piston to cylinder clearance will decrease, and will seize, and being you revved it up the skirt broke, because the skirt is the largest part of a piston. The marks on the top of the piston could actually be from pre ignition from pieces of the piston making its way up there.

    Of course Jeff any place that does tires will do alignments but i figured maybe i would check on here and see if anyone has had any problems with a shop and such. And yeah about the scratches was clueless, because i never had a car i cared about Intel i bought my own so i wanna get it fixed.....And i feel like my car has lost some power some where.... Long story short....Buddy got my car impounded when i got it out, the front fender was scratches up good, the bumper has some chips on the bottom and there was a whole in my radiator the size of a softball. Put the radiator and everything in myself and it runs great but the power isn't all there and i just wanna fix up the scratches so i can sell it in the future.
