Replaced one in my blue Prelude - blew a hole in the block with a 100 shot of n2o

One tranny in my white Prelude - Learned to drive stick on it at 14, used to burn out, rev to infinity and beyond, and shift without the clutch.

include any serious parts you have broken (rotating assembly, transmission, axles, valves etc) and what kind of car they were on.

5 motors
1. stock motor - pulled for b16a
2. b16a - pulled for ls/vtec
3. ls/vtec - spun rod bearing, my fault, should have shelled out more money
4. ls/vtec - bottomed out car causing 5 intake bolts to strip. didn't feel like fixing because i was currently building another motor at the time.
5. ls/vtec - motor lasted 30k miles. didn't care about motor in end because of another build. spun rod bearinng
6. ls/vtec - currently in car.
also 3 trannies:
1. s1 tranny broken ring, bad synchros.
2. y1 tranny broken casing leaking oil
3. ys1 tranny currently in car now.

Just one. Pulled the stocker and that's it. I was there when Albert's car spun the bearing in motor number 5.
