my crv shakes at idle, but seems to be ok when its accelerating. does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

 

you need to remove the head and have the valves re- seated. Works every time. It's not cheap to have it done but it works

 

yeah i bought a 00 crv with this same problem i just took the head off and slapped a ls head on my motor and its perfect.

 

hey i'm new to this and i was just wondering that can just put a ls head on my (01 crv auto) without having a ls ecu? thanks

 

yes you can. thats exactly what i did. the b20 block with LS head will run perfect with the stock ecu.

 

hey thanks..and one more question. what about when i build the ls head? ..cams etc.? new ecu or you can't do it with a auto crv? thanks.

 

can i swap the jdm b18b in my crv? and if so do i need a jdm ecu? .. i mean the whole engine...

 

Why do that? less torque.

We still get these in all the time @ work. Just get a new (used) head for the B20...I have one for sale off a JDM B20 if your interested - cheap + shipping. Either way just replace the head....

 

sounds good. a jdm b20 head or ls head?
which one do you have? which one do you recommend?
