So I removed my ticking upper chain guide

[Sgt. Kong]

And the KA went BOOM!Well not actually boom, more like ground to a hault.In the middle of the night, in the middle of a snow storm, about one hundred yards from my highway exit. FML!Sooo.... I have limited funds, and could def use some input on what option I should look into or go with. This isn't the time to entertain an RB,, 'cus at this point that is only a pipe dream (even those aren't very vivid now a days. Can't afford anything to put into the pipe) never the less getting rid of the pignose aint an option and neither is getting a super sweet civic . As always thatnks for the input!!!!!

afaik, you only remove the guides on dohc ka's.

Used engine is going to be your best route. Look through craigslist or your local junkyard. Usually you can find an engine for a couple hundred dollars. It will not be too complicated since it will be the same engine. when you pull out the other one you can build or just take it in for scrap metal.

from a 240 to a civic...extra fail.

just go on craigslist and buy a $200 used engine nignog

Okay, so there are no 240's in my area that I am finding.... Fail, but I just found a way to get an annuity loan, which is teet!! Its looking like RB isn't going to be as far fetched as I had thought, thank God!! I just have to do the work now in the winter season so I am not attacked by spring motorcycle fever as I have been for the past 5 years, so I can do a proper build for around 5g's. Then my lil sleeper piggy can win me the funds to buy another sport bike. I am on this site reading all the time so lets see what the community has for interesting input for my build!!! Thanks guies

Carpentry is mys trong point not mechanics soooo, no more botching for me.
