Default OT: New Engine Came In

This showed up at my apartment (dorm room) today, I wonder what it could be!?
justin, a friend of mine on the right. an itr guru.


it took 3 people to fit it on the stand.



Me and some buds inspected the motor over, and the only problem we found was this.



Firstly, we're going to clean this biatch up. It's dirty. I would like to know if anybody knows what those wires go to that were cut? Thanks.

I'd guess those are injector wires going to the resistor box.

on the outside, besides the cut wires, it's in good shaped, just dirty. it's got 89,000 miles on it. the original owner said the piston rings are starting to fail, so that's the only internal problems I know of. he said before he had the motor pulled out, he had it tested at a local shop. We're going to tear it down tonight or tomorrow, just to see if there is any other internal problems.

awesome! I've noticed your avator when you post, and i thought about asking if you went to purdue. Actually, I'm over at the Hilltop Highrises, so you and I are really close. I drive a dark blue 1997 Accord two door, so if you see me around, give me a holla.

yeah, true about the game. I'm still debating about going. Sunday though, my roomies and I are going to the F1 race at Indy.

100 posts! Finally, it took me almost a year.

a lot of the H23A1's on ebay are either shot rings or spun rod bearings.... seems odd.

sorry to burst your bubble Greensleeper but it isn't VTEC H23. It's just DOHC H23. But that's still good enough for me.

dont worry about the wiring harness, when you do the swap you will want to use the one that is in your car right now.

have fun with it

It was 375 shipped. The owner just wanted to get rid of it. He put a H22 in his 'lude and he wanted to get the engine out of his garage. We took the head cover off today and the cams look beautiful, not a scratch or discoloration on them. Since I'm an engineering student, I decided to take advantage of our sand blasting machine.




Do I smell an evil mod who took all my posts away?? I only have 1 now.
