ok if you could help me out it would be very helpful, the other night i was driveing and it was raining out and my air filter happens to be under the front bumper in front of my passenger tire now as you can tell that is a horrible place when your car is very close to the ground. anyways i suppose i sucked water into my engine but im not sure because when it happened my car stalled and i rolled into my driveway about a half hour later i tried starting it and it would not start so the next morning i tried starting it and it turned over. but it sounds like a rod or possibly a piston is down, iv'e even heard one of my valves might be cracked but anyways if you could watch the video and help me out to tell me what the problem is i would very much apreciate it.






the saab is my friends.

now here is the video

that motor is done bro you lucky it even starts

 

yeai know same my bro happen and u should take off head again and in ur water fill on piston u need clean up dry better put back head and u should buy new gasket head

 

ive talked to a few people and they said its either a rod piston or valve which are all fixable but the thing is my friend had a acura integra and he did the same and he had to buy a brand new motor

 

how about instead of shooting a video to show people on a web forum take it to someone that can give you a real answer. (dont drive it to them have it towed.)

If it is a rod or valve and you keep starting the car its only going to make it worse to the point where you will need a new motor.... Its a honda so a new motor shouldnt be but a few hundred dollars.

 

a few hundred dollars? only if it was a SOHC.

 

<---- knows nothing about honda's... i thought everything about them was cheap as shit. so maybe a grand for a motor? not including labor?

 

still not close. a GSR usually runs about $2k plus labor.

 

errrrrrr.... what?

 

yes i do not want a sohc im happy with my vtec dohc but im not sure if the engine can be fixed and i havent started more then 4 times since i sucked the water in 3 of which were to get opinions to see what the problem was and 1 to shoot the video, i am takeing it to a garage within the next two to three days or so. but if i was to get a new motor i would have to be vtec dohc how much do those motors run now a days?
