i have a b16a in my crx and i decided to take the plunge and rebuild. money is a little tight right now. it has 120k on it. head is off and the pistons dont look bad, either do the walls. i have never rebuilt a motor before, so im wondering, is it ok to reuse my pistons/rods/crank and just get a hone and new bearings and rings?
has anyone done this.
if not i would like to get everything at once, i have searched and searched but i cant seem to find a rebuilt kit for it. the only one i can seem to find is for an a2? would that work on a A?

 

that's all i did on my a6 works fine although my motor DID need a bore and now smokes a little bit at high rpms, although it's got about 15k miles of daily redlines

 

you got it bored and ran stock pistons again? i hope not lol.
or it needed a bore and you ignored it?
my walls look pretty good, i already got my head checked and resurfaced so everything else is in check besides the block. but like i said my money is really tight right now and i need to get the car running by winter because its in a friends garage and i cant keep it there anymore

 

my motor needed a bore and i left it alone. i re used stock pistons rods and crank just had it micro polished. had a slight grove worn in one cylinder and was within factory limits but had some taper to the bore. usdm parts are compatible with your jdm b16 if you need something new, doing it again i would bore my block to the next size out, although either way get the block checked by a shop or get the tools to check it your self
