Hi ..

My car is Acura Interga RSX 2000 - VeTec engine- I know this is
not an Intergara group- but I dont know where else I could go

The issue is a problem with my engine: one cyclinde has no
compression- The mechinaic says I may need a new engine $$$$...

However, I had the Dealer rebuilt the Engine about in May 2005- its
been running fine. The dealer said its really hard to trash these engines.

I am asking for some suggestions in regards to this matter.. because
I dont want to buy a new VeTec Engine for my Car...

Thank you,

Darryl

 

If you don't trust your mechanic, take it somewhere else for a second opinion.

Why not take it to the dealer that rebuilt the engine?

Good Luck.

BTW: It's "VTEC"

 

Its hard to kill any honda motors. No compression in a cylinder could be a couple of things ie blown head gasket, piston rings, hole in piston, valve not closing, etc. I would take it back to the dealer where you got your motor rebuild in 2005 and ask them whats going on.

 

It could be any of the things listed here. I would bring it to the place that rebuilt it and have them look at it.

 

So you have a JDM RSX (did not make the rsx in 2k)? Or did you mean gsr or type r?

Not that it matters what car you have.


What did the plugs look like?Was one broken?
