Hey,
Recently bought an 89 crx si, last week it started making weird squeeling noise which I thought was the serpentine belt so I replaced it and the squeeling stopped, then today I was driving home and I heard this loud unholy grinding noise coming from my engine. The noise was increasingly louder as I hit higher RPM and the engine would stumble on acceleration. Oil levels are good, engine only has 189k on it and its always passed aircare (similar to SMOG tests), I have no idea what this noise is, It sounds like it may be a bearing of some sort or a piston. I don't wanna drive it to a mechanic due to the fact that the sound got continuously worse as I drove and I don't wanna tow it to a mechanic if it's something I can do myself. If anyone has any clues as to what it may be or where I should start looking I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
