By the way... You need to replace those bearings ASAP. I had an XFi during the late 90's. It was only about 2 weeks after the noise started that I had a catastrophic failure on the passenger front end. The poor car was totaled!!! It was horrible.
I am pretty certain it is, but not for sure. Is there a stamping # for xfi blocks?
Or would I have to check the cam measurement somehow?

On the bearings, Thanks for the headsup I just told the wife what you wrote and she tired of me talking about and working on car all the time. I am going to price them tomorrow, kinda broke right now. That is why I have been doing everything on the cheap so far. Guess I am gonna just have to fork some money out and start buying and replacing some more parts.

If I had it my way I would just get a loan for like $2000 and totally re-do alot of stuff on it. But house, new Civic, bills, kid all add up fast.
