i bought a complete dohc zc motor off one of my friends for 250. it is in need of piston rings i know for sure. does anyone know a good inexpensive place to buy parts as ii am a broke college student lol

 

Any autoparts store, make friends with the people that work there, and have them buy your parts for you. Employee discount ftw...just remember you get what you pay for.

 

what is ur take on egay parts? what is a dohc zc is it like a d16a1?

 

OEM honda rings...you need a standard size bore ring set and you know exactly what your getting from them...im a fan of replacing anything i can with OEM parts(which isnt much now a days) but dish out the 80-90 for the ring set from honda

 

stay away from ebay parts...and yes a d16a is a DOHC zc

 

sweet im new to this whole honda scene so would i get thos from the honda dealership?

 

yessirr

 

sweet. so another ? for ya. do u think i need new rods and pistons? i was told to get a 3 angle valve job too what does this do?

 

well it would probably be good to replace the pistons and rod bearings but im sure thats way over your budget... is the head stock? its pointless to get a valve job done if its completly stock but thats just my opinion(also out of your price range i'm sure)

 

pretty sure its stock, i could redo pistons and bearings if its not to much

 

probably around 200 bucks maybe a little more

 

is it easy to do yourself cause i dont want to have to pay for labor. where is a good inexpensive place to get rods and pistons?

 

if your going to rebuild, please save yourself the stress and buy OEM parts. do it right the first time

 

thanks for the advice guys i get financial aide in august so i will start gettin her built then. do i need a new ecu and harness where my car is a dual point d15b2 right now?
