WANTED: D16 Complete Motor

[Guest]

you can get the b series for about 1500 with tranny and it has so much more potential than the d series and if you are gonna go with a swap i would limp the current motor untill you can get a b16 you may need new motor mounts and that would be fairly simple to find instructions on the internet about where to put the mounts and there probably is a bunch of places in fargo that would know how to do it or minneapolis would deffinately get the job done and done right too good luck on the swap

if some one could find me one for that much i would save up, but i can also get an LS non-vtec fairly cheap too, but i woul dlove to find a B17. HAHA 160HP STOCK.

I am in need of a D16 motor for my civic. My motor is burning oil like crazy. Valve seals are shot. Cheaper to buy a new/rebuilt motor than it is to get mine rebuilt. I would prefer a D16 complete with a tranny so it is lees work to drop in.

Hey,

If only your valve seals are shot its going to be cheaper to fix them then to replace the whole engine..

nope, its about 1000-2000 to get them replaced do to the machining that needs to be done on the head.

that seems a bit high, though I can't say for sure. Who gave you the quote? Honda dealer? If you feel comfortable about pulling the head yourself, give Brian @ sturdevants a call and see what he'd charge to do your head for you. I've heard nothing but great stuff about him.

For sure! Valve gastets are $32 for OEM replacements, shit I could put those in. ( Could but wont don't get these mixed up)

Or have SLS give you a quote dont just replace the hole engine.

WOW who is this guy???? I thought you said you can get stuff whole sale? I guess not!!

[harwood39]

not machining or labor, god damn people, i can get body peices, stereo, some motor stuff and interior stuff for wholesale. I never said i can get everything i need for wholesale, i said i can get some stuff.

[24valvenotak]

valve (cover) gaskets?? valve guides?? valve seats?? wtf EXACTLY are you talking about?

[harwood39]

valve seals, they go in between the valve stem and guide, seals them so no oil passes into the cylander

[PSiedTSi]
