Im sorry if im posting this in the wrong forum and if it is just let me know and ill post it in another. My question is i have a 96 type r motor in my civic and it needs a rebuild BAD and im looking into just doing a stock build. Everything i see on the internet is 97-01 type r things like upper and lower gasket kits and things like this. whats the basic motor diff between the 96 through the 97-01 years? can i use anything off any year type r? thanks for everyones time...

You can replace most parts with the C5 parts

 

the exhaust manifold is different and cams are slight diff

and i believe the jdm motor does not have a crank sensor as all obd2 usdm does...
