    Can a 1998 Accord start if you just remove immobilizer chip?

    Help?

    Seized or hydrolocked. Try turning the crank by hand with a 19mm ratchet.

    clutch problem or axle problem

    Sounds just like what my clutch sounded like when one of the springs started coming out of the hub on the disc. Aftermarket or stock?

    tapping after valve timing adjusted

    It's not a bearing knock, it's valvetrain noise. The F23's have have an adjustable flat-tappet valvetrain system, so oil pressure is not necessary to maintain the proper valve lash.

    I guess... working with what I've got. I dropped it back down to a 5.3 build again... I lost 20hp. That's easy enough to pick up elsewhere without spending $1k to do it. Boring the block to 3.905", mill the deck and have it sonic checked afterward would be $470, pistons come in at $540. Yeah...
