I am a gm guy. just so you know.

I will be working on a friends honda civic however.
he wants me to do a few modifications along with replace a cracked cylinder head.
Things i'm curious about.
It is a 98 honda civic. base model. 1.6L. automatic.


1. Are there any big things to watch out for.
IE: Watch out for the head gasket on 2.2L GM. Or the intake gasket on the 3.1L v6

2. How can i figure out which engine code it is? B series or D, or what?

3. What the torq spec and the torq sequence is for this engine.

4. Any other pertinant information.

Any helpful reply is greatly appreciated.

 

The motor is a 1.6 D series, you'll see an engine code on the block when you look straight down the front of the motor on the distributor side.
A helms manual would make the job really easy for you, especially if you have some car related experience. With the manual, you'll find everything including the torque specs.
