hey guys i have a b20z block with a b16 head and something is definitely wrong with it because when i would turn the key the car wouldnt jumpstart, it would sound like something in the block is stuck and the car just isnt cranking up. I want to find out the problem for myself so i want to take apart the motor and was wondering if anyone can give me some helpful advice and what i should look out for and worrie about while i take the engine apart. I need specific details about how to take the engine apart correctly also!! THANKS for the help lol i dont want to garage her no longer!!

 

So your saying that it is not turning over. Like its locked up?

 

thats exactly whats wrong.. im guessing theres something wrong with the block.. but im not even sure becuase its was working fine before and then it just bogged out and turned off and now its not even turning over.

 

need some very helpful advice!!!

 

eehh sounds like you might just have yourself a boat anchor. Start by seeing if you can manually spin the engine over by turning the crank pulley. If you cant do that then I would start by pulling the motor out. As for taking the engine apart I would buy a haynes manual and follow it or you could reverse the steps in this thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1676914.

 

the first thing to try is to turn it over with a ratchet because i have seen countless times that noobs think there motor is broken and it turns out to be a starter
