Ok well on this local forum a guy is selling his 92 Integra for 500$ it has a spun bearing. the car is rust free and is in great shape other then the spun bearing. im buying the car no matter what i hear in response because i can always do a swap and i might just go that route. but what and how much damage does a spun bearing do? what do i need to fix? It was NOT the timing belt it is still intact and still there. i just wanted to get some feedback from you guys. thanks much.

 

sounds like a great deal, but I can do you one better, my friend bought his 93 ls for 300 bucks cuz of a bad starter, the guy who sold it thought the motor was blown, ****** dumbass.

 

yeah i found the deal and i am jumping on it beasue 500$ for a great chassi is a good deal. i just want to know if i should go about spending the extra for a swap or trying to fix the engine that is in it.

 

the block will need all new bearings, probably a crank, and a align hone. i'd just go out and buy a b18a or b for $500.

 

thanks.
you think that i can find a b18 a/b for around $500 easy?

 

you should be able to get a B18a/b for 500-700. You could allways put a full GSR swap for around 1300-1700

 

its really depends how long the bearing has been spun for .. if it just happen u may just be able to throw some new bearings in it but if its been a while ur best just to do a swap.

can you point me in that direction please... i might be gettin into a new motor

 

once it spun he didnt drive it. it is just sitting there.
im getting it at 4 today so wish me luck!

 

damn that is a good price

 

Basically you'll just have to pull the oil pan and take a really good look at the crank, if it's not scarred just follow the little color code in the book and replace the bearings and see what happens. Bearings are relatively cheap, the crank is $1000 from honda though so you'd be better off sourcing a used engine like the other guys said. BTW if you've never done it, the crank and rod have corresponding number letter combinations, you have to use a chart in a honda/acura book to order color coded bearings. It usually helps to wipe a little oil on the crank/rods to make the numbers/letters appear, for some reason when they're dry it's hard to see them. As for the cheap GSR swap, for real I think we'd all like to know where to find them for that price.

Welcome to HT my friend

 

Where the hell can you get a gsr swap for 1300-1700? do you mean b18c1? ive only seen em for like 3000.

 

thanks so much all of you. i cant wait to dive into this project! im picking up some parts on monday i think this local guy is selling a b18a1 block with everything. so im thinking that will have everything i need. we will see.
where would be a good place to start? looking atthe crank from the oil pan?
my sisters fincie is a acura tech. so he is helping me along the way also.

Let me find this one site, i will have to search around for it. I could be totally wrong about the price, If that is the case then i guess i need to lay off the crack for a while!

 

you should be able to find an LS motor for $250-$300, i always see them around here for that much

Wow, nice assumption of the seller. Wonder what he thinks of you for not knowing what he does. Just because he is not automotive inclined does not make him a dumbass.

 

Do a b18a swap.

 

well here is one...but it's a JDM for 1799.99
that was the cheapest i was able to find...but from what i've heard about HMotors, they're good motors
