Default Got my swap today. HMotors :thumbup: x infinite...

So my swap this morning from H Motors Online . It's a 2nd generation OBD1 b16...

Came off the truck looking like this


Halfway open


Valvecover peeking


Block stamp


Full shot


The motor is extremely clean and in excellent condition. Nothing broken or missing. I'd recommend buying a swap from these guys to anyone. Customer service is excellent and service is super fast.

Sorry for the semi OT, but I'm super stoked for it to finally be here and wanted to let everyone know what a great experience I've had.

im looking to order a b16 from them soon. How long did it take you to get it and did they have one when you ordered or do you have to wait till they get one in?

looks really good

It took me a little longer cause my bank would only let them take out $500 a day. But normally it takes 7-8 business days from the day after you order your swap.

Got my JDM B16A swap from Hmotors too. Mine was clean as hell, just like yours. Definate thumbs up for Hmotors. I wish my valve cover would have been that clean though....mine was all scratched up, which means the only logical thing to do was get a JDM CTR one. Also, check your cam seals....one of mine started leaking about a month after I had the swap, so I replaced it with a STR unit...hasn't leaked a drop since. Post pics after you get it installed please.

Thanks for the heads up. I opened it up yesterday and everything seems to be in good shape. I'll post plenty of pics don't worry.

Ah, the infamous b series cam seal leak. It can happen even if that cam seal looks fine. I have the STR one as well, since my stocker started leaking. STR
