@SteelCity1981 From the looks of it, it seems that who ever owned it absolutely never changed or added oil, so the pure heat from the friction made it melt, warp, and virtually as you see it now lol.
@jmartr34 Damn shame too i have a 2000 ford ranger with 250,000 miles on it and other then changing out the sprk plugs and the spark plug wiring and doing regular maintenance on it like changing the oil with synthetic, changing out the air filter, tranny fluid and brake fluid and brakes, i've never had one single issue with it.. Hopefully i'll be able to get 500,000 miles on it, but even then sicne it's been such a good truck to me i'll prob end up replacing the engine then sell it.
are you sure thats a B16? looks more like a D16, B are DOHC D's are SOHC like that one. to get all technical on you its a D16Y7 non-Vtec. you can get the pistons from a 89' integra and the D16Y8 Vtec head and put it all together with that block and you'll have a 12.5:1 compression beast.
i have a 1988 toyota pickup with a 22re. the last guy replaced the timing chain tensioner but left the plastic remains in. the remains clogged the oil pickup and starved the engine. rod #3 had the ebaring welded to the crank. i sanded all the aluminum off plasiguaged it put all new bearings and cylinder head in..

@EricTheCarGuy I was going to say, "Wait, B16s were only in the Si in a 98 Civic." But someone beat me to the punch. This looks like a D series. What happened to this engine? It looks like a piston rod broke inside the cylinder.
i think u should hang that piston over the door of your new shop,as a reminder to all your customers, pay the mechanic a little amount to service your car regularly,and hopefully you wont have to pay for big stuff like this!
Speaking of the trophy piston, my buddy has one from his 02 mustang GT he popped a 12 psi vortech onto few years back, and ran it with a moderately leanish tune on it. Took off down the track and we were all standing about half way down, he hit 3rd gear and we heard what sounded like a pillow exploding. Upon towing it home and tearing it down, we found the #8 piston was in pieces and the rod was barely recognizable lol. The hyper-pathetic piston didn't like that boost or the tune too well.
@Feenyxxx95 Outch. A friend of mine that I used to work with had one out of a Porsche that had exploded due to lack of oil, he used it as an ashtray. Thanks for your comment.
Hey, Eric. What size compressor do you recommend for a 5CFM @90psi 1/2" impact? Also, do you recommend "JDM" imported engines? Im about to replace my F22B1 from my 94 accord EX with one and wondering if its all hype and the mileage ratings are lies. Currently pushing 300k on original motor and tranny.
@annakowcc I think they just ignored the oil light and kept driving till it died. Neglect has been the cause of many an automotive failure in my experience. Thanks for the comment.
a b16 head? it looks like a d to me! proper destruction,almost certainly down to poor servicing,and neglect,hondas never give up ,unless u go out of ur way to kill them. great vid.
@Robbbert22 Pretty much anytime you gout outside what something was made for you run the risk of breaking something in my experience. Thanks for the comment.
What did the guy do? Redline it too much thus blowing the engine? That's usually the main cause of a blown engine. Connecting rod punching through it lol
In your new shop set up a case for parts like that piston so that some day you can show off all the things that can go wrong when you ignore basic maintenance. "The case of carnage"? Just an idea.
Yeah, best part was when we were laughing at how dumb he was his wife asked what happened, she was not a happy camper, you know the bit about not using any oil etc. She started to put 2 & 2 together and lets say it was better than TV.
So what is the back story on that engine? I mean it ran dry? The owner ran it until it blew up? I understand that it could seize up (that one bearing is all torn to hell) but I don't understand how the rod blew up. My best guess is that it seized on the crank (refused to turn) and then the cylinder got primed and detonated and blew it to hell?
Great tear down. That poor engine. I bet it screamed before it died. Poor thing.
Yes Im curious to about what happened to this engine. So basically its oil was never changed and eventually it ran dry which caused it to overheat which then in turn can melt certain parts causing the engine to seize? Possibly stopping parts that dont want to be stopped (like the piston rod) and causing them to break? Im all curious about this, also what would cause the massive holes in the block? Surly that broken rod pieces couldnt of caused that
@youtubasoarus I think it was just driven till it died as I don't think the owner put much thought into it. I think after the oil ran dry and things started to heat up they began to come apart, I think the connecting rod cap came apart first and once that happened and metal started flying the rest is history as they say. Thanks for the comment.
Hello,Eric. If there were no hols in the pan, clean it, and check the mounting surface. If that is flat,part that out. Ditto for the head. I had the bypass hose leak, and barely over temped my original D15B7. Inside of a year, the HG went. Hondas do not like heat. Put in a newer D15b, running strong again.
For those that going to say what has the diff got to do with it, these engines had the G/B under the engine, shared oil. Asked him if the oil slick wasn't a bit of a clue, it didn't appear to be though. Went on to do a PHD. Was going to save some stuff but he got rid of them as he thought I would continue to torment him with them, which I would. Kept head as well and put it on his next engine
Years ago had a friend tell me his 'A' series Austin was using oil, asked him was it leaking, "no" he says. Week later calls me and says it went slower till it stopped...
Outside his house big oil slick on the road. Stripped it down (laughing), crankshaft had started to turn blue, bigends welded to the rods, but still went round, for a while. Worn G/B (I had said to fix) had dropped a ball bearing, caught in the diff worn groove and very small hole, in diff housing.
@EricWaterTruck I'm sure they did and the head may be toast too but I'll look into it if I ever have cause to use it, if it's junk I'll use it in a video at some point on how to replace valves.
That is just nasty! So the oil was just neglected for years or a known leak/burning oil was not monitored ? I mean usually when engines are low on oil, well if it works you should have an indicator light/gauge, but wouldnt you also hear the noise ?!
I have a 1991 Civic which the previous owner neglected. The air filter was clogged and the combustion chamber is all choked up with carbon deposits. Is there anyway of cleaning it without doing a top end rebuild? I want to get back some of the lost compression.. It runs ok but could be better
Must have made a hell of a racket before it blew. Its sad that some (most) people dont take care of their cars. We see them come into our shop with at least a quart low on oil almost daily. We used to add a quart as a courtesy, but now we just tell the people that their low on oil.
@int53185 I know what you mean but I've adopted the philosophy that they just keep me in work and don't try to change them as my past efforts have fallen on deaf ears. Thanks for the comment.
hey Eric the automobile guy, what about the low oil engine warning? how did this happen without the tool driving the car seeing the light? or was the light off or damaged?
Nice video's Eric, I like your channel a lot! Especially the hands on stuff! However I was wondering about the cylinder head you might want to reuse some day. As the engine died of "slow" oil starvation, I would expect the head/camshaft/valve guides to have major damage too. I'm not familiar with Honda engines, but if there is an upper camshaft running in journals I would expect that to be severely damaged. What are your thoughts about this? Regards from The Netherlands!
@kvcuijck Excellent point, the good thing about the top end of these engines is that the cam sits in a troth of oil that feeds most of the moving parts up there, sure it could still be damaged but really the only place this head would come in handy is to get a car running for cheep, I would not install this on a customer car without showing them this video first. Thanks for your comment.
@EricTheCarGuy Naturally, I have a project, I have to replace the crank and was just wondering what the seals were like I've never had to mess with them or even look at them.
How did the engine run out of oil? How long did it take for this damage to happen? We fired a student from the local automotive technical school for failing to put oil back in while doing an oil change.
@bhstone1 I think it was burning oil and ran low, I have no idea how long that took. Every place I've ever worked hand an oil incident of one type or another, it just happens unfortunately.
oil pan is NO MORE now its a parts bin :D

@lockewklhl Actually I think it was an EX as the DX's I don't think came with VTEC. Thanks for the comment.

@annakowcc I think they just ignored the oil light and kept driving till it died. Neglect has been the cause of many an automotive failure in my experience. Thanks for the comment.

a b16 head? it looks like a d to me! proper destruction,almost certainly down to poor servicing,and neglect,hondas never give up ,unless u go out of ur way to kill them. great vid.

What did the guy do? Redline it too much thus blowing the engine? That's usually the main cause of a blown engine. Connecting rod punching through it lol

In your new shop set up a case for parts like that piston so that some day you can show off all the things that can go wrong when you ignore basic maintenance. "The case of carnage"? Just an idea.

Yeah, best part was when we were laughing at how dumb he was his wife asked what happened, she was not a happy camper, you know the bit about not using any oil etc. She started to put 2 & 2 together and lets say it was better than TV.

So what is the back story on that engine? I mean it ran dry? The owner ran it until it blew up? I understand that it could seize up (that one bearing is all torn to hell) but I don't understand how the rod blew up. My best guess is that it seized on the crank (refused to turn) and then the cylinder got primed and detonated and blew it to hell?
Great tear down. That poor engine. I bet it screamed before it died. Poor thing.
youtubasoarus 6 months ago
@youtubasoarus
Yes Im curious to about what happened to this engine. So basically its oil was never changed and eventually it ran dry which caused it to overheat which then in turn can melt certain parts causing the engine to seize? Possibly stopping parts that dont want to be stopped (like the piston rod) and causing them to break? Im all curious about this, also what would cause the massive holes in the block? Surly that broken rod pieces couldnt of caused that

@thetcfoust actually, you'd be surprised how large a hole can be made in the block when a piece of alloy flies apart at 3,000 odd RPM ;)

@TheAstro30
True, lol I didnt think of it that way
thetcfoust 6 months ago
@youtubasoarus I think it was just driven till it died as I don't think the owner put much thought into it. I think after the oil ran dry and things started to heat up they began to come apart, I think the connecting rod cap came apart first and once that happened and metal started flying the rest is history as they say. Thanks for the comment.

Hello,Eric. If there were no hols in the pan, clean it, and check the mounting surface. If that is flat,part that out. Ditto for the head. I had the bypass hose leak, and barely over temped my original D15B7. Inside of a year, the HG went. Hondas do not like heat. Put in a newer D15b, running strong again.

For those that going to say what has the diff got to do with it, these engines had the G/B under the engine, shared oil. Asked him if the oil slick wasn't a bit of a clue, it didn't appear to be though. Went on to do a PHD. Was going to save some stuff but he got rid of them as he thought I would continue to torment him with them, which I would. Kept head as well and put it on his next engine
bunning63 6 months ago
Years ago had a friend tell me his 'A' series Austin was using oil, asked him was it leaking, "no" he says. Week later calls me and says it went slower till it stopped...
Outside his house big oil slick on the road. Stripped it down (laughing), crankshaft had started to turn blue, bigends welded to the rods, but still went round, for a while. Worn G/B (I had said to fix) had dropped a ball bearing, caught in the diff worn groove and very small hole, in diff housing.

@EricWaterTruck I'm sure they did and the head may be toast too but I'll look into it if I ever have cause to use it, if it's junk I'll use it in a video at some point on how to replace valves.
EricTheCarGuy 6 months ago
That is just nasty! So the oil was just neglected for years or a known leak/burning oil was not monitored ? I mean usually when engines are low on oil, well if it works you should have an indicator light/gauge, but wouldnt you also hear the noise ?!

I have a 1991 Civic which the previous owner neglected. The air filter was clogged and the combustion chamber is all choked up with carbon deposits. Is there anyway of cleaning it without doing a top end rebuild? I want to get back some of the lost compression.. It runs ok but could be better
Gruxxan 6 months ago
@Gruxxan In a situation like that the damage is really already done, just drive it till it dies and replace it is what I would recommend.
EricTheCarGuy 6 months ago
@EricTheCarGuy ok thanks for the recommendation
Gruxxan 6 months ago
Must have made a hell of a racket before it blew. Its sad that some (most) people dont take care of their cars. We see them come into our shop with at least a quart low on oil almost daily. We used to add a quart as a courtesy, but now we just tell the people that their low on oil.

hey Eric the automobile guy, what about the low oil engine warning? how did this happen without the tool driving the car seeing the light? or was the light off or damaged?

EricTheCarGuy 6 months ago
Nice video's Eric, I like your channel a lot! Especially the hands on stuff! However I was wondering about the cylinder head you might want to reuse some day. As the engine died of "slow" oil starvation, I would expect the head/camshaft/valve guides to have major damage too. I'm not familiar with Honda engines, but if there is an upper camshaft running in journals I would expect that to be severely damaged. What are your thoughts about this? Regards from The Netherlands!
kvcuijck 6 months ago
@kvcuijck Excellent point, the good thing about the top end of these engines is that the cam sits in a troth of oil that feeds most of the moving parts up there, sure it could still be damaged but really the only place this head would come in handy is to get a car running for cheep, I would not install this on a customer car without showing them this video first. Thanks for your comment.

How did the engine run out of oil? How long did it take for this damage to happen? We fired a student from the local automotive technical school for failing to put oil back in while doing an oil change.
