Does anyone know where I can find a thread for rebuilding a B-series engine? Preferably a B16a2, but I'm sure overall there aren't many differences between Vtec B-series as far as steps are concerned.

I'm looking for more of a complete, step by step process. Interested to know how to replace pistons/rings/rods/bearings in the lower end. Not interested in "this is my build thread. Installed this and that today" while skipping various important steps in between. I've searched a bit, but haven't found anything conclusive...

Otherwise, where would I find this info? Where do average Joes learn to rebuild engines??

 

...Or am i to assume that people just figure stuff out as they go? It seems theres so much to know/check when it comes to tolerances, etc. and better/easier methods of getting the work done... Can anyone offer any insight??

 

I saw a good rebuild not too long ago but I think it was for a d series motor.... I might need to do ky b16 a3 so it will be helpful if someone has a good thread

 

Check out Calidad in the FI section.

 

If you find a thread post it up here im rebuiding my GSR engine and i'd take some helpful pointers

BIBLE = FSM for us car guys.

 

Thanks alot man

 

if it's really important to you, go out and buy the B Series builders guide....it's been out for 2-3 years already

 

What lazy *** newbs!!! You were told exactly where to find the tread!!!

 

I bought that book and it tells you pretty everything you need to know minus unlocking your doors. Best 20$ you could ever spend IMO

 

Is that the english version of the Japanese book that was published in the late '90's?

 

LOL....i said 2-3 years, not 23 It is a new publication, i don't think it was it had anything to do with any older books made in the past

It's made by SA books, they are all i English, ad make a huge lie of builder books for Honda's and dozens of other makes also

 

I would also try Endyne's website. They don't give you step by step instructions, but they do give you tips on how they put together their engines. Great read.

 

I guess you didn't understand my question. The original "Bible" was published in Japanese. I was just wondering if this is just a translated version because the Japanese version covered engine, transmission, suspension, wire harness and added tuning basic tuning/pm tips.

 

Well, as the twenty some years that have passed, the newer book would some up and have the latest and suggestions/opinions of far more input/feedback than the original book.....i would lean much more that way.

I have most (not all) of the old school books starting from about the mid 80's up the current publishings.

 

Just get the 96-00 Civic Factory Service Manual. It has a MASSIVE section dedicated to the B16A2, including full rebuild, repair, diagnostic, maintenance, and specifications information. I've rebuilt more than one single slammer with the same manual, and I've never had a problem with any of them.
