Okay i was ridin down mercer univ. comin from lake wildwood yesterday and my 93 lx accord oil light came on and stayed on not even 2mins. later it dies at 40 mph. i pulled over and tried to crank her up and i heard this metal pounding from the engine bay so i poped the hood at check it out. it was comin from the bottom end of the block and was getting harder so i cut it off checked oil and it was below the second hole. put in some oil and water in the radiator and tried again it still was knocking just not as hard. so i veryvery slow drove it to the nearest family members yard where it sits now and i need to know what could this be and how much and hard is it. and possibly could anyone help me doit?

Might as well find you a new engine . . . You sound like you threw a rod or spun a main bearing . . . And this is no easy fix you would ahhve to go through the oil pan and you probably scraped the block so there is very lil chance of a rebuild. . . Hit the junkyard look for f22's or an h22 even better.Originally posted by Jkid View PostThe local asshole, 19 years in the making and still not giving a shit

Sounds like your oil pump is probably shot too. My oil has been much below the second hole and my light wont come on.
Time for a new motor. Get an H22

Sequence of events;
Oil light comes on, indicating very low to zero oil pressure. You ignore it and continue to drive the car for approaching two minutes. Severe bearing damage results. Engine is cactus...
If you had shut down immediately the light came on you may not have needed a replacement engine (you could probably fix your existing one, but it's most likely much more economic to replace it with a S/H unit).Regards from Oz,

I’m sorry to hear that. I agree it’s better to just look for another F or H. You definitely would have been ok if you would have stop right when the oil pressure light came on and unfortunately those two minutes you kept it running killed it and if the noise is that bad then the damage must be serious – total bummer. Never the less see if you can drain the oil and pull the pan be on the lookout for metal parts lying in the oil. If none then you are 'lucky' and you just shot a rod bearing. Keep us posted
