i have a 2000 ex, im not sure what i did but my motors making a knocking noise, and i went to a bunch of places like 2step and other shops, they said i can drive around with the knock for a while if i dont go crazy with the car, but i was driving it a few days ago and everytime i went to stop it just died, im wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me what might be the problem? and my other question is if i get any d series block can i use it with my d16y8 head with no problems? or should i just get a whole new motor? i know the answer to the last question but i still wana try and save my sohc, and im really strapped on cash. thanks for the help.

 

ur motor is toast u spun a bearing

 

so i cant even use the head?

 

no the haed is ok but the block is done

 

o ok so can u answer the other question? can i use any d series block?

 

as long as it is a d15 or a d16 none of that d17 crap

 

is it just going to bolt up or am i gona have problems? one of my friends guys has a none vtec for 80. the whole motor. i was thinkking about keeping my vtec head and just using that block

 

Yes You Can Keep The Head And Just Get A Block And Your Good.

 

so what kind of block do you guys recommend? i know the d16y8 is the best choice but i cant find any out here cheap.

 

A D16Y7 block is going to be the easiest.

 

y7. Ive been through 2 y8's now, both ended up with spun bearing. y8 oil pump=crap.
