Hello. I'm going to look at a b18b engine, trans, axels, etc. for a swap i'm putting into a 2000CX. What should i look for to make sure that everything is legit? For example, what should i look for in the engine? What about the trans? What type of wear should be on the axels? Etc. Please, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Is the head and block seperate? That would be nice, because you could actually see if there is anything amiss internally. Otherwise I'm not sure what you could tell from seeing the outside. Signs of leaking from the headgasket? Sorry I couldn't be more help....bump for you.

 

there isnt much u can do , just research places that u would get ur swap from try to see if anyone can bounce for them. try jdmclub.com some people from here got it from there they say its good. Just find a good place and u wont have to worry about things going wrong
ps. it would be nice if they steam it clean for u.... i hear jdmclub.com does that so.

It's from a local shop. Not really too many people for me to ask. Anyway, thanks.

bump, bump, bump me up...

 

I'm going to see the engine, etc. today. Can anyone else offer some advice on what things to look out for?

 

start it up...listen for any wierd noises...as for just looking at a motor u cant tell...unless they put a piston through the valve cover
