Umm I really don't think he cares about parts being in the grass... he has a hole in his block, and he is swapping in a b16.

GL with that. That's a pretty big hole that your motor has in it.

Re:

looks similar to a 1.4 dohc vvti corolla that i did in, i ended up with 3 hole in the head, 2 in the block, and 1 in the sump.

as for changing oil often sometimes you dont get any warning, or when you do its to late, or the oil pump just fails and then your fcuked either way.

btw it was not my car i killed....

Re: Re: (USDMCIVICHATCH)

swapping in a b16 is a big waste of money. There's no advantage from using a 1.6 liter SOHC vtec motor until after 4,500RPMS when the 160HP that the 1.8 liter puts out really high RPMS starts to make a difference..
