my freind has a 99 civic dx coupe witrh a b20 vtec motor but it has a shot piston ring ..he wants to trade for my 93 integra da ....does anyone know how much it will cost to fix the problen with the piston rings???

 

All depends on the mechanic and how bad is you piston to wall clearance
if you just want to change the rings that could be done with motor inside your car
I usually do it with a light hone to remove the glaze off the cylinder walls and install new standard size rings for like $600
but once again, that all depends in how bad or good is your piston to wall clearance is

 

damn 600 thats kinda pricey!!! do you think its worth it? i mean my da is really clean with a b20 all i need is some rims haha

 

dont, da's are getting rarer, besides ur teg runs reliable (on the assumption u say its clean) then why would you wanna take over his problems. How are you for sure that its a "shot piston ring" and something more major.

 

yea thanks i was thinking its gonna cost to much plus ill like my da better once i throw some rims on it although i did trade a 95 eg coupe with a gsr for it ..i regret it now but the da is cleaner but not as fast! heresa how it looked with sport max!

 

just keep the da. its already pretty clean

 

IF ANYONE HAS SOME RIMS FOR CHEAP LET ME KNOW ITS ON BLACKIES RIGHT NOW MAYBE SOME SLIPS BUT I REALLY WANT THE WORK EQUIP 03 REPLICAS

 

Keep the DA....the last place you want to have a B20 in a civic is California...you're just asking for trouble

 

yea i wouldnt do it, i dont care if someone tells you it just has a bad ring. If your going to be going threw all the hassle of pulling the motor all apart to get the damn piston and rod out, your better of rebuilding the whole motor or atleast putting new rings in across the board. I would never take a motor apart to replace one damn ring.
