Hello,

My name is Rayme (to pronounce Rémy), Belgian and owner since October 23, 2016 of a Honda SB2 of 1979 with manual gearbox. Well in his juice

PRESENTATION :



Well, the problem is that the engine is dead, apparently head gasket, the body is not early youth but I had a very good price ...

With a 2nd in parts





Several pictures of the general state













I cut the engine compartment of the donor to do some tests



We use a B20 in stock to see what it gives



Then, we install a gearbox to better understand the case



I then try with a D series block



The problems :

- Driver side: the accessory pulley does not pass, it was necessary to remove it. The alternator does not go without knocking in the spar and the engine support taps in the chassis
- Rear side: the impressive box comes touching the cradle but there is way to scratch 2 cm on the cradle and the intake manifold is equally impressive
- Gearbox side : cutting a protective sheet and cutting / folding the lining of the spar to make room. The gearbox support does not pass, should face it

Of course all this to have an ideal engine position with an alignment of the housing with the floor and an alignment of the gimbals with the hubs

 

You still have two good options to try, K, and F ( SOHC ).

 

Dismantling the engine



The engine supports are loosened, the sheet of the wheel well is eliminated on the gearbox side, all the supports are removed and the rest is dismantled.



The engine : B16A2
