Default Opinion on engine

First: would this fit in an 89 crx si and second is it worth it ? I know it needs work but I have a stock engine as it is.

Thanks

if you have to ask.. please dont put this in yourself.. before you research alot more .. yes its plug and play.

is it worth buying.. probably not seeing how the engine is running rough.

It will fit easily, one of the more easy swaps to do in an ED/EE chassis. But with the money you would spend on rebuilding a DOHC ZC that the guy admittedly beat the **** out of you could buy a whole new swap or upgrade your engine (don't count out the D16A6, check out Tippyman and Dr. Latino's build threads for proof). Plus look at that non-functional hood scoop and projectors, fricking ricer.

I saw where beat it up. I didn't know how much it would actually be to replace whatever he said was messed up. I also figured he wanted $650 for the car so maybe I could get him down below $500. Didn't seem too bad considering how cheap I could get it for and then rebuild.

Or you could buy the car and part it out anlong with the salvageable parts of the engine, probably be able to make a profit while you're at it and sink it into your motor. Again, if you do it I strongly advise against rebuilding that motor because the guy raped it.

not Worth it to hard to find the crank and to rebuild it would probably cost as much as buying one from a importer
