So my brother just threw a rod (i think) in his Automatic 96 civic 4 door. I just wrecked my 96 Manual Civic CX hatchback.

Is it possible to swap motors?

Is it possible to use my parts to fix the problem?

 

I believe all D-series are interchangeable. So it's a direct swap.

 

yes you can swap motors.

 

even though mine is stick and his is auto....? Have you done this before... not trying to be an azz just in a jam

 

yep just take your longblock and switch it with his.

 

Just curious, but how do you "think" he threw a rod. Either he did or he didn't. Usually a gaping hole in the block and/or catastrophic engine issues are a result, so it's not like it's easy to misdiagnose.

But yes. The engines are interchangeable.

 

He's 200 miles away....kinda hard to diagnose when he doesn't know **** about cars.

 

how hard is it too say if there is a hole in his engine or not??he slowww or something...

 

How do you throw a rod in an automatic civic?

 

nuetral a brick and some brake cleaner . or no oil

 

GO pick it up

 

Yeah....thanks for your replies.....both cars are here now that I can look at them. And don't call people slow when you don't know who they are? You are either here to help or to start trouble.

 

the swap will work fine .. all you gotta do is switch out the motor itself and bolt the other tranny on

 

 

he threw a rod in an automatic did he have a CAI ? if so this why i took that **** off my car its not worth the gains

and yes the motor will fit might need some new mounts

 

SUCKS ***** THAT YOU WRECKED YOUR EK
