Ok,

Your point is valid but on the inspection sheet it says they changed out the oild. If i can prove that damage done to the car was caused by oild starvation then they did falsify the inspection. Throughout my entire post i asked for advice on what could cause an engine to seize if not an over-rev and it seems as if the only possibility exists in oil; which they would be responsible for.

Also, the down payment thing is also a valid standpoint in this, and i am in a very, very good position to counter sue but also very tricky as the sale involved a trade in on my part..

 

what about "as is" don't you understand?

 

What about fraud do you not understand? As is isnt a binding contract if i fraudalently sold you an item by falsifying facts. If i sold you a fake diamond, and gave you the impression that it is real, do you really think i would be able to run away from the sale claiming that my fake diamond was sold as is? Please, if you do not have a law background and have nothing positive to contribute please refrain from posting.

 

Give it up people, seriously. While I agree the OP should've known better, the reality is dealers and salesmen can be some slimy folks. He's obviously partially to blame, since he should've been more careful, but you guys are acting as if the dealership did nothing wrong. If he really did nothing wrong to the car (which is believably based on the circumstances), there's NO reason it should die w/in 100 miles of buying it.

 

Correct, the car was driven less then 100 miles and for 3 days. It boggles my mind that anyone can blow a f22c in this time frame, even if I was tryong to blow it up.

 

i still cant believe you had it 3 days and only drove it 100 miles, hell i drove mine 100 miles the first hour i had mine!! hahaha

 

You have certainly provided some logical advice as to what the issue likely is. From the pictures that would be my guess as well.

Also I agree 100% with the statement that people certainly should not assume that the guy over-reved based on the fact that he drives different than most. This is especially true since what has happened with his engine certainly does not point to over-rev. I guess if the people who were making these uneducated staetments had actual knowledge in their pea sized brains then they would not need to clutter this thread with worthless banter.

To the OP, sounds a bit more hopeful that a fix is within reach provided that there is no damage to the crank. I think all things are leading to oil starvation, I personally would think it would take some time of driving with low oil for that bearing to fail like that though

edit: just noticed you are dropping an whole new engine in, personally it is the route I would have went, it sucks to get an engine back together just to find out that there were more issues that you originally thought. Worst case you may be able to part that engine out and recover a bit of you lost $.

 

really, i don't understand what is wrong with some of you guys, three days after the purchase, the engine blows. I don't know absolutely anything about mechanics, but i've read enough "i over revved," "my valve retainer dropped/cracked" to know that it sounds like the problem was something else according to KANG. Three days into your driving experience, I don't care if it's KANG's fault for not having check the oil level. He purchased the car from an Acura dealership, even if the car was sold "as is" there is still an expectation that the car should be in good running order and not pose a danger to the accupants when it leaves the lot.

If he had bought the car from an individual "as is" he might be SOL, but he didn't. Courts will hold dealers to a higher standard because they are experts in there field of trade. Dealers lie to move inventory, times are tough, and it looks like the product may have been misrepresented. I'm sure he has a case, he has a lawyer.

Besides, S2KI.com is really good at weaving out the real noobs, the fact that this thread is 11 pages long shows that we believe something is not right, that maybe KANG got hosed. NOOBS who blow their engines get 7 nasty responses from members before moderators close their threads.

 

Get a new motor and be done with this. Obviously the dealership is not willing to cooperate since they're here to make money and not lose money unless they had no way out which in this case they do because of "as-is" purchase agreement. They could say that in the 100 miles that you did drive you were in vtec the whole time which would burn oil causing the oil to go down. Honestly, if the dealership wanted to help you would have known by now. Move on just like everyone has said. The money you saved by buying an "as is" vehicle now should go to either buying a new engine(better idea) or rebuilding the existing one. Good luck. I hope you will take this as a lesson to be learned for the future.

 

What happened to the engine in no way points to an over-rev, simple as that. If you want a more detailed explination re-read the thread and I have provided an explination in there (or read in you case, as I doubt you read past the 1st page).

Just as you stated two posts after this, if you have an opinion you are going to post it, same goes for me, no PMs needed.
