82 honda civic with EK1
I just bought a 1982 honda civic 1300. I am trying to find out if this car came from the factory with a ek1 motor .the guy I bought it from said it was the stock motor but he was the third owner. i think somewhere down the line it was changed. the numbers on the motor are EK1 5530054. the best I can tell is thats a 1.8 and the civic didn't have that engine as an option in 82. I really need to know more about this motor like what to set the valve lash, spark plug gap and I would like to change the timing belt.
any help would be great. Thanks, James |
Re: 82 honda civic with EK1
The motor is not stock. Its out of a Prelude or Accord.
timing belt adjustment/pivot belts - torque to 31 ft lb. cam gear - 22 ft lb. crank gear - 83 ft lb. valves: intake and aux: .12-.17 mm clearance exhaust: .25 - .30 mm All this from a Factory Honda Service manual. |

ps - plug gap is 1.0 to 1.1 mm

Thank you for the info. I did order a manual for this car but it didn't cover this engine.:ugh: I guess I will have to order 1 for the accord

I keep finding more about this car. the shifter nob says 1-4 but I found 5th gear today. :thumbup:

Re: 82 honda civic with EK1
I'll have to check, but I think I have a book for the first gen accord if you didn't already order one otherwise.

1979 - 1000001 and up 1980 - 2000001 and up 1981 - 3000001 and up 1982 - 4000001 and up 1983 - 5000001 and up If it qualifies for the 1983 year, it would only be an Accord engine. I have the EK-1 from a 79 model Accord in mine.

Check your chassis code. SL-431 is a 1300 4 speed. SL-532 is a 1300 5 speed. SR-332 is a 1500 automatic. SR-532 is a 1500 5 speed SR-533 is a 1500 5 speed and the model would be GL Hope that helps the break down a little more in depth for you. |

Thanks guys.
I now know that I have an 82 civic HB with a 83 accord engine. my guess would be that it has the accord 5 speed sence the vin # says it came with the 4 speed. |
Re: 82 honda civic with EK1
Glad I could help. Well, if you got that info from the info I posted.
