overhauling motor

[90_hondaCivic]

I am looking for parts to overhaul my car. does anybody know where i could find them. places in the town i live dont have them. and i am also needing a exhaust manifold its for a 90 honda civic 1.6 5-speed

[91civichatch2571]

first of all, what engine do you have?

[90_hondaCivic]

its the one that was in the car. 16 valve 1.6

any good parts store should sell a rebuild kit, may have to order it but they should carry it.

[itechengineers]

places to find parts. grab a phone book and hits the local or near local junk/slavage yards = they can be a gold mine to many people. the other option is oart staores in your area, im a little shocked you didnt say i dont want to wait for shipping = the part sotres where im at can bring anything in for me (except an entire parts car of course). hey, you could hit ebay and forums. automotiveforums does have a forsale section = check it out!


what kind of car did you get that house your 16 valve 1.6 motor?

[90_hondaCivic]

a 90 honda civic ex sedan

[90_hondaCivic]

should i even waste my time overhauling it or just get a new motor for it? i can get a v tech for thousand with a transmission.

if you can afford it go with the vtec motor do you know what kind of motor it is though cause you may be in for alot of work

[90_hondaCivic]

the dude i am getting it from says it should fit fine. he says that it should be a perfect fit but i would have to get a new wireing harness because my year of car is not set up for a v tech.

[Ace$nyper]

you would need to do some work to fit wiring ask him for a motor code. cause it may or may not be a good deal is it coming with all stuff tranny ECU etc etc?

[90_hondaCivic]

yeah it is coming with tran. what about crate motor from japan anybody know about them and if they are good or not
