Knockin or tickin?
Hey peoples I hope you all have had a chance to rev a jdm engine today. My first cb7 was almost 10 years ago but only had the pleasure of the vehicle for about 2 years...just recently got back into one, and boy did I missed it. The forum hasnt changed much but it is way more organized and monitored which is a glorious thing. cb7 love is real, and I apologize for my absence.
Long frustrating story short, I buy a 91 EX for cheap and like a dummy I mess with the plugs and wires before getting home just to see their condition. barely make it 7 miles down the road before I was losing power and the engine was starting to backfire like mad. After many trips of throwing parts at it and having a couple more mechanically inclined friends poke around, we still cant 100% narrow it down. Im thinking the oil pump is kinda frail so I was going to hook up the shim hack on that and maybe the port hack? also going to replace belts and check pulleys and gaskets...uuuhhhh its soo much work. Im hoping someone will tell me that its something simple that Im missing. any help will be appreciated. much love cb7fam
so Ive already gotten new plugs and wires, distributor and rotor are clean and were tested, compression was tested but not with a compression tester. cleaned all the basic stuff like the valves, replaced pcv, air filter, checked for vacuum leaks, not leaking any oil from anywhere. removed checked and cleaned everything from the fuel filter to the injectors and the injectors themselves. fuel is fine...I went through a whole ordeal with water in the gas due to the car sitting in a field for a year or three. I think its finally dry after having to take pretty much the whole interior out to find the sitting water and dirt. lol its been fantastic let me tell you.
the video is of how it sounds as of now. Any help would be much appreciated. Even if its just to have to inform me that yes in fact I need to put that work in and deal with the oil pump. thanks!
