Swapping in a new motor, what to replace while it's not in yet?
So far I have these things to replace while the motor is still out.
Motor is a JDM SIR OBD2 B16A.
- Water Pump
- Timing Belt
- Oil Pump (Any recommendation on brand?)
- Spark Plugs
- Spark Plug Wires
- Valve Cover Gasket
- Oil Change w/ Filter
Any more small things to replace before I drop her in? Also, what brand of timing belt and water pump does everyone use when they rebuild or replace?

Front and rear main seal
oil pan gasket
oil pick up gasket
VC gasket
intake/exhaust manifold gasket
TB gasket
VTEC solenoid gasket
cam seals
Axle seals
Basically, replace every seal and gasket to ensure you will have an engine that won't leak at all. It's a pain to toss in a motor and then have to drop the oil pan or take off the transmission to replace a rear main seal.

Also, OEM is the way to go. Cross shop websites, but usually Majestic Honda is a great deal on parts.
Also replace the timing belt tensioner bearing and spring.

It is unnecessary to charge $15.99 shipping for a sensor or something that could fit in a small padded envelope. I just don't get it.

Re: Swapping in a new motor, what to replace while it's not in yet?
Have never swapped in a B motor , but have done many D motors. Other than usual stuff, t belt and all the intake gaskets needed when I would swap the original intake system onto the new motor, the rear main seal was it. The only reason for that was once I put a manual tranny flywheel where a auto flexplate was and the lip on the fly wheel came in contact with the main seal and caused a leak. Many of those are still putting with no problems. Most all that can be gotten to easily with motor in the car if need be. BUT, do what gives you the most peace of mind.......
