She drove it back with no oil pressure guess it'd still do 30mph. Those 100hp honda motors are solid. No ticking no visible damage top or bottom of engine. I doubt my klde would survive 30 seconds without oil. Still hate the civic though its so gutless & uncomfortable not to mention everybody & their mom has one.Ryan wrote:That be a big hole.
Motor died or did she kill it in time?
I just picked up the pan for $15 at the wrecker down the street, at any given time they'll have 5-10 civics & 0-0 mx-3s. I need to put some fog lights on there so she can see better this isn't the first time she's ran crap over since I put the h&r springs on (3" drop) .Ryan wrote:I'm pretty confident KL's can't go 5 seconds without oil.
Will insurance cover the damages, or are you just gonna slap a new pan on it and call it good?
+1 I know guys that before doing the KLZE swap ran the K8 without oil for like an hour to try and kill it and it wouldn't die.PATDIESEL wrote:I dunno bout the oil comments on the K series motors. My old K8 would run 2-3 quarts low for weeks and was still fine when I took it out. I always use/d Mobile1 Synth in it and think that helped a lot.
