they have an ok write up.

 

Step 1: Get Helms manual.
Step 2: Follow directions in Helms manual.

This is a must for doing anything to whatever type of car you happen to own. Let us know what kind it is, there's probably a manual available online.

 

i have a 93 hatchback with a b16 ,thanks

 

when connecting the engine hoist,where do you connect the chain to the engine?

 

As you're looking at the motor, there's a bolt hole on the back on the right side, thread a bolt in there a little. for the other side, you'll have to hunt around. Some people go around the distributor, but that always made be a little uneasy. If you loosen a transmission bolt you can get the chain around it.

For a manual, check here:

thanks alot for your help man...also,if i put a ls block in and keep my b16 head,what would i have to do?do i have to change anything?would all my b16 stuff work on the ls block?thanks alot

 

There's a writeup on the ls-vtec conversion on the c-speed site posted above, and there's loads of info on it here if you search. You'll need an oil line, dowel pins, and miscellaneous other junk. A quick search will tell you all you need to know.

 

thanks again

 

Don't hoist your engine by the Distributor.......Not a good Idea. There is usually a bracket that is on the tranny that you can put a bolt and nut through. The threads of the tranny hole bolts may get jacked up if you try to lift and you didn't put the bilt in enough. Using the search tool is good... But always double check with the manual... Cause there are alot of people on here that give the wrong advice and it will cause you to mess something up. Hope you can figure it out. Laters....
