Got a 95GSR with 214k miles and today it crapped!
The oil lite came on and the car had a kind of knocking sound from drivers
side
of the engine- intake side, temp was fine ,had plenty of oil but it died
like a
siezure- locked up and won`t turnover- pulled the plugs and they were fine,
no smoke or burning smell nor anything coming out the tailpipe. I think it
maybe the oil pump? looking now in manual to see were its located in the
motor.
any help would be great
Thanks

Sounds like bad news. To me it sounds like it is the oil pump that gave out
but it gave out when you were driving and starved the engine, so it seized.
Get a junk yard engine and keep truckin'

Well I got the car home and a quick check- key can`t turnover engine, and
putting into 2nd or reverse can`t turnover the engine. So most likely its
locked-up solid(crap!) haven`t had a seizure since my 2stroke racing
days.Oil level is good along with coolant, funny how the water templite
never moved from its normal postion.
Guess thats why their are called "IDIOT" lites

Did a "google" and found these sites for JDM engines-

http://www.allbodykits.com/JDM_Engines.htm
http://www.jaydm.com/jdm.htm

Also my local acura dealer has said before that he can get JDM motors,
now time to find the funds...

Hi, unfortunately if the engine locked up it is too late to put a pump
in it but just for info the pump is located on the front(timing belt)
side of the engine. It is driven by the crankshaft and I have seen a
few fail especially on the GSR's and type R's. I think the engine
pulses causes a vibration to occur in the pump causing it to destroy
itself. At least that is the cause that I have heard.
