Ok my fellow ECO members I dove in with both hands today yesterday I finished up finding out that my cam gear pin sheard off. Today I took the vtec assembly off 4 banjo bolts and then took the cam caps off.. Found out that 3rd cam cap is bad really bad how I dont know must of been from the previous owner not doing a oil change in a longer time it was supposed to of been done at 102k miles but it now has 108K miles and it wasnt done and the honda dealer she took it to said the engine was bad I figured it was good and they just wanted to f her.. So now also my cam grove where the pin goes is messed up on one side could be fixed but the 3rd cam cap is fryed on cam/cam cap as well other 3 are good to ok.. few lines on 4th.. Sucks has this happen to anyone else.. I havent took the oil pan off but will I do have a car hoist and it will be easy.. should be.. Engine spins really easy with just the force of my palm.. I am hoping the bottom end is good what should I do.. Do any of you have a cylinder head with cam and gear.. Also I did get it started before all this and it would start with the IMA only since it needed more force to get it going.. IMA does work fine no IMA light.. did get a CPS 1 and 2 code..
