D16Y8 Knocking, what are the possible problems?
Long story short, last July I lost a lot of oil in my D16Y8. Didn't notice until I had a bad knocking noise. It was loud. Definitely coming from the bottom end. So I ordered a b18c and just swapped it out. Now I have this d16 sitting in my garage collecting dust. I was thinking about rebuilding it and buying a some kind of older civic to throw it in for a winter beater. What possibly could the knock be? I was thinking maybe a spun rod bearing. How easy/how much money would you estimate that it would take to fix it? I know that depends on what exactly is wrong. I'm just looking for any info that I can get.

It is probably a spun rod bearing. Just buy a bearing set and install them yourself. Wont cost much, and you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

build it(if you can afford a b18c, you can prob afford to build a D.) throw like a grand or 2 into it and boost it, prob make 300whp easily and have a engine capable of 350-400ish( these are all very vague estimates lol, but somewhat true)

i just rebuild the bottom end of my D16Y8. the #1 rod bearing were gone and it started to walk one of the main bearing. it was a pretty significant knock. i replaced the bearing and polished the crank. it only took me maybe 2 hours to do the job. i am pretty skilled with mechanics so it wasnt a problem with me. but i think almost anyone can do that job

im actually doing this to mine right now. its a d16z6 with a y8 head. i think i spent like 180 just on the crank kit with bearings. and might as well change the piston rings or pistons....
