i want to replace all gaskets, seals when i get the engine from the yard. i'm getting a SOhc ZC and from what i read i can put the SI tranny on. my car is a 88 CRX SI. so basically its a direct swap and i buy all parts for the a6 correct?

timing belt, water pump, tstat, intake gasket, exhaust gasket, front crankseal, rear crankseal, input and output shaft seal, camshaft, valve cover gasket, tube seals...what else am i missing?

for the input and output shaft seals, i was looking for prices on partsamerica.com and they list it as a output shaft are they the same?

 

Yes, you can use all those parts from an a6. As far as the tranny bearings, spend the extra $$ and get OEM Honda ones. You will be kicking yourself when one of those parts america ones goes out prematurely. Trust me on this one.

And don't forget to do your head gasket and possibly rear main seal.

 

u guys think the partsamerca ones will fail? i don't think i'm getting new tranny bearings...just all the seals that i can get...will any of the oil seals be good or should i go with OEM honda ones?

i know the intake and exhaust gaskets should be ok since its all felpro so yea

 

Ahhh, nevermind my bearings remarks (they are trash anyways), you wanted to replace the seals....

You can get all of those parts at any auto parts store, I'd recommend NAPA out of any of 'em though if you don't get OEM. And when you get the shaft seals just make sure that they're the right size before you buy them, I've found this out the hard way.
