Default about to buy jdm d15b, need advice

Theres a guy selling a jdm d15b longblock without dist and intake manifold. i have a 92 civic dx, and i know a z6 dist will fit on the d15b, but will the b7 dist work on it? he also said the motor mount got loose somehow and caused the bolt to grind on the tooth of the timing belt, but he said the motor still runs fine. is there anything i should look for? should i do a compression test or anything? thanks for the help!

your b7 dizzy won't bolt up, unless you want to use vice grips to hold it on.

i'd stay way from it, unless it's really cheap

It won't hold a compression if the valves are bent.

So do a compression check.

Aside from that I'd just change the timing belt when you get it - better safe than sorry.
