My D16 in my CRX has 175K on it, it burns some oil and I can hear piston tap/slap/whatever whenever it's idling (at least I think that's what it is...)

So I'm thinking of getting it rebuilt in the future, rather than my original plan of swapping in a SOHC VTEC - just because I like the little motor that could, and I won't need to worry about issues with wiring, distributors, ECU's, VTEC controllers, etc. etc.

How much does it usually cost to have a D16A6 rebuilt? Is it worth it? Will it last as long as it did the first time around?

Gimme your opinions, guys.

Thanks -

Alex

**** rebuild. Just pick up someelses that they took out for a swap. That still runs good of course. That would save you big time $$$. Or better yet,

Time to Get a Swap

 

depending on how much of a rebuild you do, i would guess at least $500. i rebuild my ZC and when it was all said and done, i had spent like $1250 with all new seals, gaskets, new pistons, rings, bearings, bottom end balanced, honed, resurfaced flywheel.

 

you could bring the milage down to 118,xxx if you buy mine

 

where you from and how much?

 

I would do a SOHC VTEC if I were you, it's not all that difficult and the perf. gains are awesome...I'm thinking of doing it and turboing the bitch...less headache than a B16
