Alright so i bought an engine from a local supplier and was told it was a d15b2, i forgot to check when i picked it up, seeing as ive never had a problem from them before.

Well the block says d15b, and the head says pm3-17. I know the usdm d15b's came out of the std, but the ones ive seen have had different heads.

The reason why this question aroused was because on the back of the head near the dizzy there is a cover covering an opening, when ive only ever seen it blocked off by casting.

Any help would be nice, im returning the engine anyways, because i can get another b2 in better condition.

 

anybody know?

 

same **** here did you find out were the PM3-17 came from or off plz help im trying to get a crx running that some *** hole fucked the cam

 

It's the JDM D15B Non-VTEC probably.

been told the block off plate is for head mounted fuel pump on carb'd engines.

 

This would match my information.

"Fuel Control : Twin carburetor PGM-CARB/fuel injected"

I'd assume the plate is exactly as you say.

 

thanks your the ****

 

Have a 93 civic sedan that has a d15b7 block and the head is fresh ! Says pm3-17 and I'm lost any one know for sure why the hole is covered with a plate ??
