new to the honda scene and i just purchased a motor for my 97 honda civic ex. The motor i bought has b18h5 stamped on the block. Have tried to google it but nothing has come up. It has a single cam vtec head on it. Im just trying to see if any of you guys could help me out. TIA!

 

post pictures of this anomaly.

 

and also, before you buy something you should research it FIRST, then make a purchase.

 

Your right. The guy i bought it from said it had come from a 2000 honda civic ex. and that it should be a direct plug and play to my 97EX. Top end looks just like my 97 . I just happened to look at the block and it had B18H5 stamped on it.

 

Single... B18... H5....

OP post a picture. Because as of right now I'm calling this BS.

 

In for whatever this turns into lol

 

 

curious too.

 

im lost too! LOL! thats why i posted this

 

hahahah that is a d series someone grinded off the oem stamp and didnt know **** about cars and put that on there
they prolly meant to put b18c5
wow

 

...that engine doesn't exist....

That block stamp looks doctored. Looks like a D16Y8 to me. D16Y8s came in 96-00 EXes.

Did you buy this engine from a guy in a striped suit? The Rice Burglar?

 

Somebody tried to play you lol they got a chisel and a hammer and started hacking away

 

A real Honda engine code would have the numbers straight. That one they are all crooked and look like poo.

 

im hoping its a d16y8 cause thats exactly what i needed for the 97 ex

 

WOW. The ultimate rice. Doesn't even come near to OEM front. Sorry buddy, but you got ripped off.

 

look's like it say's ouch under the b18h5

 

That looks soooo restamped... its a y8...

 

For sure that's a OBD2 engine.

 

not really... what i needed was a D16y8 and I guess thats exactly what i got. Thanks for the help guys!

 

Seller already got you once. So, let's just hope that engine runs properly.

 

crossing my fingers..eyes, toes

 

wait i think the spanian type RR. jk.

super restamp.

 

LOL. DOPE.

 

i hope you didnt pay the price of a b18. you should slam that green valve cover through his teeth.

 

wow i have never seen this before,
im mean come on they could have at least got the damn letters straight!
