I will start off with saying, what an excellent site and community. I've been a lurker for the past 2 years and enjoyed reading about members cars on here. Some of the work gone into the cars is amazing!
I bought an ATR CH1 around 2 months ago. It wasn't the best of examples but the engine was decent and I was looking at getting into Honda ownership so bit the bullet and bought it.
Well, the problems didn't take long to notice and I've slowly been getting the parts to sort them out. Some oil leaks, headlights not adjusting, bushes knocking etc...
Then today the inevitable happened.
This occurred while driving at normal speeds. Came down a hill and heard a unusual noise. Saw the following and was left gobsmacked as now I'm wondering if I may need a new engine or not.
I do remember the pulley wobbling but never thought much of it. It had its belts done at 78k and now it's on 110k.
I am a sad man as my Honda ownership hasn't started off with the best of starts. If any of you can advise me on what to expect I'd appreciate it.
Other than that the car pulls hard in VTEC and drives fine.
Looking for opinions, car is currently at a garage and I will find out in the next day or two why it did what it did.
Thanks
