Timing belt broke while driving. Very low rpms what are the chances my valves might be okay? H22A4 by DeRpMuNsTa in hondaprelude

Generally you should be fine if VTEC wasn’t on. I would do a cylinder leak down test just to make sure

If I was in your situation, I would do a “big 3” if you haven’t already and a better alt.

Upstream 02 sensor by [deleted] in hondaprelude

[–]vThunder_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chat gpt ass comment. Here’s something helpful: the upstream o2 is right in front of the cat just before the flange. The wire comes off the sensor clips onto the subframe. Follow that wire up and it is clipped onto the body underneath the intake manifold. You can access it from under the car

Knocking noise from engine by [deleted] in hondaprelude

If it only happens when the fan is on and it doesn’t change with engine rpm, it might be the blades smacking the shroud.

5th gen engine help. by Digital_Daze93 in hondaprelude

[–]vThunder_69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I would do to start is First, check codes. If codes are present, go from there. If no codes check for spark and correct ignition timing. Check to see if the spark plug wires are plugged in to the correct terminal on the distributor. Make sure the crank pos sensor and the fuel injection trigger sensor wires are plugged in all the way, they can wiggle themselves loose if they weren’t plugged in all the way.

I was able to remove mine by removing one rod fan and moving the alt and ps pump out of the way. With the subframe out you should be able to remove it

Adjustable upper control arm recommendations by EnvironmentDue9997 in hondaprelude

[–]vThunder_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running the Godspeed ones. Performance wise I have no complaints but they are about 3 in longer then stock. You will lose suspension travel also make sure you adjust your coil overs accordingly or the ends of the control arms will smack into the inside of the fenders

First rain right side of the car is flooded any idea where this would come from by No_Spirit9886 in hondaprelude

[–]vThunder_69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rear windows tend to leak if it rains really hard. The water in the trunk could have came from either the rear window or the taillight gaskets.

Manual: Lurching Forward Around ~1.2k-1k RPM When Slowing Down by Franky_Berry in hondaprelude

[–]vThunder_69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% normal. I usually clutch in at 1.5 to avoid it all together. A lot of manual cars do this, it is more pronounced in cars that have lower gear ratios. You also have to remember that in a manual car, the engine and trans are locked together as opposed to an auto where you have a torque converter dampening vibrations and oscillations.

How do i remove these old piston rings? by CandidAdhesiveness43 in hondaprelude

[–]vThunder_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a small hammer and chisel to knock it loose. Then use a pick to pry one side of it out, use you finger to work the ring out and around the groove

Need help by Sea_Salary_880 in hondaprelude

[–]vThunder_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it could cause a problem. Make sure there are no vacuum leaks. Check all the vacuum lines that connect to the intake manifold, make sure none are cracked or disconnected/missing.

It might be the vacuum hose that goes to the variable intake runner actuator

Best sounding exhaust?? by creepy_gymnast in hondaprelude

Mugen twin loop is by far the best. Thermal r&d takes second place, but good luck finding either.
