Replacing the Rod entails tearing your whole motor down, removing the Crankshaft, replacing the Rod Bearings, Rod and Piston and it is not cost -effective to do all that labor for just one Rod. You are better off replacing the whole motor than just fixing the one part. The most cost-effective solution I found that alot of people are doing, is to find a Engine Shop in your area that sells used Japanese Engines Imported from Japan. The engines are used, but only average about 30K miles on them, because in Japan they have very strict Smog and Emission Laws and when a vehicle in Japan reaches 30K miles, they mandatory have to pull out the old motor out and replace it with a new one, which leaves thousands of perfectly good Japanese engines to use as replacements. A good used Motor runs anywhere from $400-600 dollars plus labor, unless you are Mechanically Inclined and you can do the install yourself. I replaced two Hondas and one Ford (Mazda) Festiva motor using this method and never had a problem with them ever.

1992 prelude si - battery/alternator prob?

if you can charge the battery and drive it for a while then sounds like the altenator has failed and is not re-charging the battery, good way to test is to charge the battery, start the car and turn the light on, if everything is dimm or the motor dies there is little to no charge voltage, and will require altenator work
