A Bad thing happened last night
Spark plug broke off in the #1 cylinder.
Going to have to rebuild the motor.
If you guys know a shop that you have worked with in the past that does good work, please let me know.
And while I'm rebuilding the motor anyway, I'm open to suggestions on what to run (turbo, N/A). I'm through with the Nitrous.
If you had the money and a busted motor what would you do?
Budget is about $5000
1990 Civic Lx
B16 (busted)
P.S. Zex kit for sale!

ZMR in lutz....pm KJ or Racin or details. With 5k, you can do a whole lot since you already have the motor..it just depends on your goals. If i was in you shoes...I would build it, then boost it, but its going to take everybit of 5k and maybe some change. Buy KJ does some awesome work, he's cheap and he's pretty quick and getting your car back to you.

Don't really know the all of the damage that has been done. It only happned last night. Just buy looking at the cylinder through a the sparkplug hole..........its fucked up. The car is only running on 3. Fuel and a little Oil are on the plug. The plug was half done. My guess is that its still in there slapping around (No I'm not driving it).

What exactly happened? Are the threads stripped in cylinder 1 where the sparkplug was? Or did the sparkplug just come apart... you know, like did the porcilin(sp) pop off of the thread and electrode?
My car did that (plug somehow seperated and blew apart one of my MSD wires), thus leaving the threads and electrode down in the motor... it was a easy fix... just popped a socket down there, loosened it, and used a magnet and pulled it out.
