At the advice from Tomcat39, I've been digging into the search bar for D15's with an A6 cam and Y8 gear. Both of which I can get for dirt cheap.
This car is a daily driver that is never going to see boost or juice. It's been doing 40 miles per day 6-7 times a week for years.
I wanted to make a list of things I've already got waiting and see what I might have forgotten or just not even thought of.
I have a 1995 civic LX with the mostly stock D15b7. A noisy S20 5 speed.
What I've replaced in the last year that will not need replaced
All cooling sensors.
Radiator and thermostat
Long-tube header
Gutted cat with a full 2 1/2 exhaust
Shockingly quite Thrush turbo muffler
All front suspension parts
New CV axles
4 high carbon brake rotors with ceramic pads

What I've bought in preparation for the rebuild.

Main bearings
Connecting rod bearings
Thrust washers
Stock piston rings
Master engine gasket kit
Multi-layer steel head gasket
Complete timing set
Replacement cooling fan
O2 sensor, the current one looks like its from an old diesel engine
Brand new Torque wrench as I caught my kids using my old "good one" as a hammer.


I'm having the block, head, connecting rods checked, cleaned, prepped at a machine shop.
I have a friend with another s20 trans that has less than half the miles mine has. I'm getting that with
engine mounts and a exedy stage 1 clutch.

Is there anything I'm forgetting?

figure out what bearings you need before ordering.

Spark plugs
Cap & rotor
Check plug wire resistance
Consider a clutch slave cylinder since they are cheap and easy to repalce with the engine out of the car
