Motor blown?

i was on the 403 cruising @ 100, and than i felt no power as the gas peddle was to the floor, i than saw oil light flash so i turned it off, pulled to side of road. turned it over and it idled really ruff. when i rev theirs knocking and it then dies.

whats the verdict?

Probably threw a bearing and damaged the cylinder walls with heat...

Check your oil. Add some oil and drop a small amount into the cylinder thru the spark plug hole, rotate the assembly by hand a few times and then try to crank her over. If she knocks/is gutless/idles rough still, it's more then likely shot. And it looks like you have a B17 on your hand...might I suggest a 1.8L GSR or ITR replacement?

drain the oil....check for lots of metal flakes....i'd be tempted to drop the whole pan while you're at it, see if the oil pickup is damaged/clogged.

One word: Toast.

I check my oil almost every time I fill up for gas....High revving honda B series are all known to burn a little engine blood... especially if your turning 9500....

Sounds like she lost some vital fluids and gave up on ya....sorry to hear.

come on man.
I mean, revving a stock block b20vtec to 9500rpms.
I don't know who advised this guy that this was a good idea. **** if someone told me that they took their stock ITR to 9500rpms i'd tell them they're crazy, nevermind a b20.
He knew the risks, and i guess didn't care, now he has to pay the price.
