search engine sucking at the moment....
the motor is a d16y8 motor, with an unknown amount of miles.
i'm gonna rebuild it for boost, but want to know what gaskets and parts should be replaced.

i know i need,
timing belt and tensioner,
oil pump with gasket
water pump with gasket

what else?
is there anywhere i can get a complete gasket kit to replace all my gaskets?

 

Honda sells Upper and lower gasket kits(everything included)...some dealerships sell T-belt kits that include belt, tensioner pulley and spring and bolt.

might look into replacing the valve guides, just have them checked by the machine shop.

 

since your doing a complete rebuild your going to back to redo every gasket anyway

so might as well order and upper and lower gasket kit

sounds good,
anything else i should look into?

 

might wanna buy a more durable head gasket if going boost. but i hear people go with brand new oem gaskets and it works fine. arp headstuds to be on the safe side.

yeah i already bought arp headstuds and will be going with all oem gaskets except for a hondata IM gasket

 

they have rebuild kits, they cost around 350 bucks and they have everything, rings, pistons (if your not going with forged internals) this si the way to go

nice buy too bad i have a y8
and also i have forged pistons and eagles...
also i would be concerned about the brand of those bearings they offer....

 

well sicne you have forged internals already just get the gasket set, but i would say get a cometic headgasket as well

 

Do you know how to size your bearing? be careful!

 

im rebuilding a motor right now, and here is what im replacing.


piston
rods
rings
bearings
head studs
all gaskets
T-belt
water pump
oil pump


might be replace majority of the internal engine bolts also. Look at it this way, you have it apart so replace everything and anything you can so that way its as good as new when put back together and you have no worries
