I'm with Varnell on this one. Just buy another accord. You can easily find one with almost half the miles yours has and with a good body.

I wish it was that easy but I don't have the money to just buy another accord. My paychecks only range around $1300 and considering I am broke now and have bills to pay as well, yeah I am screwed.

Plus this has to be done before I go back to work next Monday. I get paid tomorrow and I did find another motor at our import junkyard here for $350 with 189k

Check engine light came on. Thermostat malfunction. Then I go to check the coolant tank and the bish is filled with oil! I've finally cracked 292k and this happens. It felt like my whole life just been taking away from me. I really don't want to pull the motor out or buy another one :(. Idk what to do
Dont look at this as a blown engine but as a pathway to greatness perfect excuse for a f20b swap FTW!!

F20Bs don't take prisoners they chop faces off!!

F20 will be more work and a little more money but this is definitely something you should look into. I'd love to have an f20 or h22.

ah, didn't know you were burning oil too. I *might* do HG if I expected ~1yr.

Going for a (stock) F-series swap?

With those have parts, and beer. Done by next morning (wait to drive at this point, lol, but sit & rev it!

I wish :(. My vacation sucks now that I have to spend half my paycheck. I only have a week and I would need that motor shipped.

Yeah I didn't think it was that bad til just now and the sad thing is. It runs perfectly fine.

I hope I can do this in a day. I really want to enjoy my vacation. I haven't pulled a motor since trade school like 2-3 years ago.

Also this gives me the opportunity to do my turbo build now.

See this is why I love my dad and everybody at the honda store that helps me out!

They gave me another solution to fix it until I buy another car. Then this one is going to turn into a full out project like I want it to be.

Will update tomorrow on my progress as my paycheck don't come in til tonight

So all we ended up doing is flushing the system out via water hose, cleaned the coolant tank out, filled it back up with anti freeze and some k seal got it up to operating temperature and so far so good now. Ima just keep an eye on it and see how things go.

In the mean time I'm looking for a crx as a daily. I have always wanted one. They are lightweight, fast, amazing on gas and are reliable cars.
