wow, i finally had set aside the time to pull the motor out this weekend and attempt my infamous "1300/stroker or just 1200 rebuild"...i hadnt driven the civic in awhile so i figured id drive it to work and cruise during lunch...i got to work fine, then at lunch i topped off the oil, topped off the air pressure on all 4 tires, added some octane boost/fuel cleaner and filled up the gas tank..then SNAP my timing belt broke in the middle of nowhere...sigh..a soccer mom in a minivan offered to push me, but i was trying to push start down hill at the time (at first i thought i had just stalled or some crap) it was pretty embarrasing..now i have to figure out a cheap way to get it back home
