dont do that i have integra civic and preludes... my prelude did that
and i drove it untill it blew... is the engine knocking if yes thats
bad that the pistion hitting the valve check your oil and oil light.
if you dont keep on feeding it oil it will blow. if the engine blows
it might crack the block and then you will have yo buy a new engine
this way you can rebuild your exhisting engine this will save you 1000
also double check your oil pan plug and be sure its not leaking this
is what may have caused the problem in the fist place. watch the temp
gauage if it ever goes past half stop your engine (turn the car off)
used engine are cheep and almost any honda engine will fit you can get
a used b18b/a 145hp 90-93/04-01 integra for $300 for example good luck
and be smart... sell the car befor it pops if you want to a snake
and/or spend no money.

 I can't find a K&N drop in filter for my 1997 EL. Has anybody found an alternative?
