Where's the best place to get a rebuild kit? I got the Integra running tonight and it has a death knock coming out of the bottom end. And the oil pressure idiot light is on. So I am thinking the bearings are gone. Can the oil pan be dropped while the motor is in the car? Where is the best place to check the oil pressure? But the good news is that I turned the maintance light off!!!

 

Yes the oil pan can be dropped just, remove the lower section of the header or if its a 1 piece the whole thing.

 

Thanks Logan, It has a DC header on it. I am pretty sure it is a two piece.

 

Do you have a Haynes or Helms manual? They are lifesavers, I've heard Helms is better thou.

 

Not yet but that is my next step.

 

What are you planning on rebuilding? the whole thing or just the bottom?

 

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. First I need to find out what is wrong with it. I really don't want to small fortune tied up in ut. But by the same token I want it fixed right. The way things are looking now I am going to pull it and either replace or rebuild the whole motor.

 

i can almost promise you that pulling/replacing will be less of a headache and sometimes cheaper

 

Agreed, unless u plan on rebuilding for performance resons just replace it.

 

I think I am going to just try to find a decent used od JDM motor. Thanks for all of the help.
