Another swap question
Ok, blew a head gasket in my CX, don't feel like fixing it so I'm just gonna swap a B18 in there. I'm letting a local shop do it for me because I don't have the time or resources to do it myself. Every post I read asks what they need to do the swap. What I want to know is what do I need to look for after the motor is done so I can make sure there were no shortcuts taken by the shop? I don't think I'll have that problem cuz I know the guy pretty good, but he might not be the only one that touches my car. BTW, $3500 for a B18C installed and they keep the car for a week to do it to make sure it runs right. Good price?

Re: Another swap question (JapTendencies)
while, look at the bolts and see if they are stripped or replaced with new ones. Also look the wiring, see if it is ran right and does not look like ****.

GSR or Type R? I would think that it is a GSR because it is so cheap for a Type R.

Re: Another swap question (turbogixxer)
yeah, just a GSR, none of that type R stuff. I don't want to go into debt for a damn motor. Already gotta put $1000 of this on my credit card. I hate credit card bills. At least it's at 0% interest. Anyone got anything else I should look for?
