Default Rebuilt Honda Engines in Cali?

Hello Im in Modesto Ca
I wanted to know if there is a shop that has rebuilt Honda engines with Honda parts?

Is there a shop in California that does this?
Long Blocks/ Short blocks/

I'd prefer to look for a D16A6 but will take a D15B1/2/7.

I have 2 D15 blocks collecting dust.

Thanks.

well if you want a rebuilt engine with all oem part than you best bet is to look through forum and buy one from a honda enthusiast and that might cost $$$

Yeah man I don't know what you're expecting to find, or how you're going to find one. Good luck... No shop just carries 20 year old econ. motors rebuilt recently in good condition.

If you're so worried about OEM parts go buy an engine from craigslist and rebuild it. That's literally about your only option. Or go to an importer and buy one of theirs and rebuild it.

I would get a 'ZC" sohc, but what is stoping me is that i eventually run in the Honda Challenge H4: and ZC engines are banned from H4 Class.

The ZC engines are legal for H2/H1 which i don't want to run. If that was the case, i'd rather get a rebuilt D16Z6 or D16y8 and get bump to H2/H1.

Not 100% true, ANY engine swap, no matter if it's a direct replacement or not, has to be certified through the BAR before it can be smogged... Trust me.

The reason most people don't say that is most likely due to most smog shops being retarded and just going for it without checking the engine stamp. So it's worth a shot if you're swapping in something crazy to just try to do it without a BAR cert. first but expect to need one eventually.

This is too far off topic though.

Rebuild your engine.

Rebuild your engine.
it will still be a direct replacement tho. schedule it with the BAR station and as long as you plug all the original usdm emissions parts back on then you will get it BAR certified. it's not like your swaping a B series in there. but to the posters info i never knew why they would ban the motor in the class kinda wierd haha
