The Terrible Accident
 
okay so over the past 3 days ive invested a lot of time and money into changing all the seals and bearings.. aka rods and main bearing and have done a lot of work to get my 88 prelude si back on the road.. i was following my brother in law in my truck and he was in my prelude.. the car ran GREAT ive never seen it run that good an he never had to shift over 3.5k.. anyways about 10 miles into our trek from moving it to my new house the car started to emit a slight ticking noise.. then i noticed a light spray on my window... (it was oil) about another mile down the road sparks came flying out from under the car (which has no hood or bumper on at this time as they are getting painted) and smoke came out so bad i could not see the car.. after letting the smoke clear i find that i have a hole the size of 2 fists in my block and those sparks were from the piston exploding through the block and hitting the ground... just my luck...
