how much whould this cost

hey the 91 crx that i might get it smokes and burns oil really fast :eek: i think it needs a new ring job . are they called ?tasten rings? well he said he would pay normally about $600.00 for the laber -->is that good ?<-- but are the rings cheap ?
thank you .

from me :licka:

The rings are going to be fairly cheep, less than $100. Thats alot of labor, but I'm surpised its not more honestly. Its alot of work to put new rings in and hone the cylinders.

yea, my rings for my dohc zc were 80 bucks canadian :) got the block honed for 60 bucks canadian and did the work myself for free :)

why didnt you hone the block yourself derek?

did have the tools for it, and also this is a very reputable shop, they checked for taper before they even honed it to make sure everything was 100% before doing anything. and i didnt wanna do it and fuck something up either. i might test it out on my d15b2 if noone buys it

lazy bastard, go make some snowballs eh?

shut up, i'm going back to my igloo :mad:





:evillol:

hahaha!!

It's not going to cost you much more to just put a B16A1 in it. You could probably get the engine for $800, plus installation. It will be much faster.

hmmm 800+installation

He didnt even wanna spend 600 for new rings+labor, why would he want to spend 200 more and have to pay for labor to install which is around 500 bucks!!!

I'v never seen a b16a1 for that cheep.

buy a new motor like a D15b or a ZC (dohc or SOHC)

Did you have to drop the engine out on the bottom and take it apart that way, or were you simply able to take of the valve cover and cylinder head, and change them that way. I'd be intersted in doing this myself, because my CRX does burn some oil.

No doubt, show me where you can get a b16a1 for 800 and im jumping on that, the cheapest ive seen was on hmotors.com, 1499, plus shipping and thats everything included............

thats about avg price for everything included that ive seen around also

Look for them on ebay for about $800

Yeah without a tranny, and if your lucky it might have all sensors, but they give no guarentee, i dont know about you but im not gonna trick off 800 dollars based upon my luck.............

well i had just bought the engine so i had it out on a motor stand. if ur gonna do it urself then 90% of the motor has to be taken apart meaning ur gonna need all new gaskets too. take off the oil pan, valve cover, head, intake and exhaust manifold. then unbolt the endcaps on the end of the rods and GENTLY push them up and out of the block. i say GENTLY because if u rush and scratch ur crank then ur gonna be buying a new crank as well.

I'd say if your willing to spend over 600 dollars on a ring job, just put that towards a new engine, d series engines are a dime a dozen...........

risingsunengines.com sells the D16A6 for about $600 bux, so you might as well get a new engine

that's what i'm gonna do when my engine goes out or burns a crazy amount of oil

i have friend that has like 5 jdm d15b's sohc vtec. for like 2 bills each. american.

their complete long blocks (mani,exhs,head,sometimes dizzy but not needed unless u convert to obd1.he puts a 3 month waranty on all his motors but does not ship.if you live in socal i can hook u up.

for real why buy a new engine when all i need is rings for it and the labor .i dont care the price 600 800 what ever it takes im still 15 and puting in to the car for now which means saveing up money so i can buy new things for the car
:aus: :slap: :eek2: :chair: :icesangel :bananadie :iagree: :attention i like these smilems
:thefinger

where do you live ?

B\c what u spend for the new rings and such will buy you a low mileage engine with no problems................. But hey if you got 6-800 to trick off go ahead and do that.............wish i did

ok i see what your saying.-> umm i dont have the car even yet. i just want to know if im buying an okcar for the price. it 1500.00 i have to talk to the guy sometime soon right now i have close to 500.00 dollers now i stil have to save up and at the begining of the year im going to buy a old but good car for 400.00 for a guy then sell it for 5-600.00 to a friend its an '85 torcel we talking old school :newbie:
:feedback:

ok. that makes no sense. i would pay like close to a thousand for the car.lowball him with cash in hand.
listen to us. we know what were talking about. we are here to save u some cash. but if you just want the ring job go ahead and do it. its not worth it.its a lot of work.do some research.

c'mon, i'll sell u my d15b2 for 300 canadian plus shipping :) rings are great and the head was rebuilt about 9 months ago

b2's will last along time.but i think i can get him a way faster motor with like under 60k on it for 250 american.plus i think he doesnt even have the money for it.

damn, i wanna sell this motor, its takin up room and i dont wanna throw it out

:nono:
