cage motor jumped time :(

as others pointed out the 1st gen integs have a 1.6L DOHC motor, specifically the D16A1, which is very similiar to the ZC.

Ah. Yeah I didn't realize that there were any dohc d series motors. I thought they were all the little single cams in the civics.

Btw Shaun, I've been thinking of selling my 95 integra for a while now. If you're interested, I'd let it go to you for fairly cheap, since I know I'd need to call in some moto labor eventually anyway.

Lucky, for sure.

So, how many miles were on that belt?

And I'd replace the idler pully bearing while I'm at it.

ooooh. new chapter in the "elskippydoodle's expensive lessons learned" book

i love timing CHAINS, except for the one that was originally on my 63 lincoln that had a steel chain and nylon teeth on the gear. wtf were they thinking?

Same thing on my old 72 chevy truck. Solid truck in every way except that one. Lower gear crapped out at 90k miles. It was 20 years old at the time, but still... only 90k.

Zoikes! Well it'll have another 100k miles without incident after this money, so it's worth it.

btw, here's your pic from above, directly in the thread.

This is an interfering honda engine: putting off changing your timing belt is like putting off changing your underwear!

What, they are both potentially deadly? :|
