I was driving my civic home last night and the engine started nocking at high rpm's. Completely out of nowhere. So i pull into a gas station to check my oil. The oil was fine. then a guy came up in a nice (very modded) '96 Hatchback, so i asked him what he thinks it is. He thinks its the main bearing. If anyone else has a clue on what they think it is tell me. It only happens at around 4k rpm. thank you

What up main, lol. It sounds like you just spun a rod bearing. Might need a new motor. Here is a place that you can try http://www.jshmotors.com i got my motor from them their really cool guys,

It looks like generation X is really a big fan of the civic, not sure why they like the stickers and big wings, mutton dressed like a lamb. Unfortunately they've only had the pleasure of driving 4 cylinders and minivans up till now and see these as sports cars and any attempt to give a critical account of problems relating to the civic is met with "Honda Hater". Stay in school kid.
Otherwise most of the people that defend them have low mileage cars or leases where they never experience high mileage problems. Trust me, its too soon to judge.
