Description: Got this car in a trade, i dont have time to fix it. The kid before me told me it was making funny noises so he dropped it off at pepboys. pepboys wasnt able to start the car after he dropped it off. they said the oil was low (it was on the low side of the dipstick) so it ruined the crank pulley bearing and now the engine wont turn over fast enough to start. they never removed the oil pan or drained the oil though:roll:

i charged the battery and it started right up. there is a loud tapping/whining noise. sounds like it is coming from the head (dropped valve?) but the sound also sounds like rod knock... just doesnt seem to be coming from the block. i drained the oil. there was no metal or metallic swirls whatsoever. i pulled the valve cover off and didnt really see anything wrong... but thats about as far as i got.

compression on a cold engine:
cyl 1: 175psi
cyl 2: 180psi
cyl 3: 175psi
cyl 4: 180psi


details:

-02 rsx type s. 79k original miles. 6 speed.
-silver exterior. scuff on rear bumper (should buff off). dent on drivers quarter panel.
-black leather interior. one rip on drivers seat. other than that very good condition. alpine headunit with ipod hookup, 2 12" fusion subs with fusion amp. components on an alpine amp
-dc racing headers and full exhaust

KBB in fair cond is over $8k.

$4800 OBO i dont accept checks so your "$2500 CASH" offer does not excite me:mrgreen:. trades considered. no projects.
