im buyin a coupe with a blown motor but have a b16 to replace it. the guy sellin it also has an 89 prelude that hes throwin in cuz he said the motor is freshly rebuilt with new rods and bearings. the pelude has a b20 in it but i was thinkin it was a b20 from a crv but apparently not. i heard this was one of hondas worst motors they made. iv never heard of that motor cuz i dont know much about that year prelude. i was wonderin if anybody on heard has delt with this motor before. he said its a good swap for the coupe but i dont want it if its crap.

 

i really dont know anything about the b20s, but i have heard of people dropping them in hatches and what not

 

this is what i know...
