00 usdm b16a2 for $1700 with around 90,000 miles. wish the mileage was a little better but considering most honda engines are sturdy, i'm tempted on purchasing this for my swap. any insight as to whether this is a good deal? thanks in advance!

 

Depends on condition... compression test would be my first recommendation.

 

is it the whole swap or just the longblock?

 

If its the motor + Tranny I say go for it. Make sure you get a compression and leak down test first though

 

1700 is for the complete swap.....i'm new to all this so bear with me...

how do you do a compression test and leak test on a pulled engine?

thanks for the feedback....keep it comin.

1700 for a complete B16 swap (mounts 'n all) isn't bad at all. If comp test is good - go for it.

I don't know how to do a compression test on a pulled motor though - you need to pull the butterfly open but I don't know how to crank it over....jumping the starter I guess is the only way to do it - I don't know .

In for the answer on that oen too.

 

thanks....any other suggestions for a compression test on a pulled engine?
