Type S ran it about 10 miles. Balancer shaft tensioner spring fell off into the timing belt and made it skip a few tooth. Had the timing redone and everything ran fine, however, the valve cover was put on temporarely after the timing had been redone and the car ran 1/2 a mile like this. This ended up flooding all 4 spark plug stacks with oil (not alot but enough to be a concern).
I pulled the spark plugs out, cleaned them and put them back in (so engine cylinder now had some oil in them). Car didn't start (of course), pulled the plugs out and replaced with new ones. Car started, puffed ALOT barely kept idle. eventually stalled. Now it won't start at all. I think a may have screwed it up big time.
I know I probably did alot of things wrong there.
Luckily I picked up a Complete Euro R engine last week, swapped into a 5th Gen Prelude. I'm debating just pulling my whole type S and just putting the Euro R in instead. It's already working. I would have to reuse an Accord harness since the 5GP harness is different.
