While I didn't find the source of the screaming, I did find this:

A crack in the timing belt :thumbdown: :( :cry:
Thats what I get for using an eBay belt I guess.
Gonna pick up an OEM or Gates one soon. But for now, she's undriveable. I'm not gonna risk destroying the head/motor.

Yeah I'm ordering an OEM one because I'm not planning to push massive numbers, and the oem timing belt will do just fine. Plus, honda reliability :wink:

:weee:

Hey thanks so much man! But I've been doing some research and have seen that with my mods, I don't think I would benefit from a bigger TB. Also, I have a firewall-mounted map sensor. I'm not too good at wiring things lol. If I change my mind though, you'll be the first one I talk to! :thumb:
