my sohc vtec civic make light clunking sound when engine warming up. few minute later its gone.. FYI the cylinder block have been warped and head resurfaced/shaved 3 times. The shop says this is the final shaved no more after this. after the 3rd overhaul the engine is quite rough.. so..

- is it the the bearing? if so what part?
- will replace cylinder head block make it OK?
- replace the whole engine?

any answer would be great..

What are you doing to the poor car that you've managed to have to resurface the head 3 times. And did you get the block decked too?

the 1st shaved when i replace my burnt head gasket. the machine shop did bad job and did the 2nd shave FOC.. a year after ...the water broke in , and did the 3rd.. dunno if the shop shaved the block too.. should i get a total engine replacement if the engine screw up again?
