and also, before you buy something you should research it FIRST, then make a purchase.

Your right. The guy i bought it from said it had come from a 2000 honda civic ex. and that it should be a direct plug and play to my 97EX. Top end looks just like my 97 . I just happened to look at the block and it had B18H5 stamped on it.

...that engine doesn't exist....

That block stamp looks doctored. Looks like a D16Y8 to me. D16Y8s came in 96-00 EXes.

Did you buy this engine from a guy in a striped suit? The Rice Burglar?

A real Honda engine code would have the numbers straight. That one they are all crooked and look like poo.

Seller already got you once. So, let's just hope that engine runs properly.
