My Civic had a blown head gasket, which resulted in oil leaking into the radiator causing the engine to overheat. Now it smokes terribly when started and has basically no power, as well as making a clanking noise when slightly revved. I have found a rebuild kit including-Full Overhaul Gasket Set,
Pistons and Piston Rings, Main Bearings, Rod Bearings, Thrust Washers, Timing Belt, Timing Belt Tensioner, and Oil Pump costing $422.48.


My question is should I rebuild the D16Z6 or purchase another engine prefferably the stock 1.6 liter engine, and if I should purchase another engine, where can I find the D16Z6 online. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If money is no worrys (and you have time) Do a swap, but the d16 is so simple to just tear down the and rebuild, It took me about 6 hours the first time I did a top end rebuild.

craigslist is usually my first search for parts

Ok then where can I get the D16Z6 complete engine?

Dangousity

there's a person on craiglist in Elizabethton with a d16 from a 95 civic for 400 dollars

just buy a complete JDM D15B with 3 stage v tec for $700 from japan online. or change the oil in your stock motor and try making that motor work.

i had the d15b
well atarted with the D16Z6
hydro locked/ threw a rod
got the d15b like Travis mentioned from japan for like $800
spunn a brearing
got the current d16a
and the d16a is the stronger out of the 3 (good old butt dyno ha ha)

TravisCadello

I agree! MY d16z6 was stronger and seemed to hold high rpms well. but my d15b block hasn't gave any problems but I have a feeling if i keep reving it as high as i am it will blow. I'm been going easy on it lately and keeping the oil full and fresh so i dont think ill have problems.

I had a d15b7 and it was brand new everything from oil pan to valve cover clean is hell and after 5000 miles it blew a head gasket and over headed. and i changed the head gasket and it started knocking i got pissed and red lined it for about 2 seconds when the rod flew out and i still kept flooring it it wouldn't go past 4200rpm and had oil everywhere. i was pissed off. i had just put it in.
