guess what i scored?
i just got a 89-91 hb civic, not sure of year. clean lookin car. needs some minor bodywork and has a d16a6 motor that has a spun bearing. know id like to know how cheap are good bearings, and how hard is it to change them? id like to keep the d16 in it but if not i can put my d15b1 into it. never done a swap or motor work besides clutch with this kind of car yet so its gonna be a learning experience. and ill get pics up as soon as possible.

if you got the car for free, then it was a score. if you paid money, tsk tsk cause you don't even know what year it is.

you gotta tear apart the motor to get to the bearings, but the actual replacing is easy as ---- lol. old ones slide out, new ones slide in. and like ^ said you'll probably need a new crank if it spun a bearing.

anyway...if they say the bearing is toast, the crank very well could be too, so dont plan on just tossing a new set of bearings in there right yet

Re: guess what i scored?
hay rawr, ---- u because i did fix my civic and ive been driving it. i fixed it the day after the trany blew apart. dont judge me becasue u dont even know me man. and yes its goin to be my project car for now. ive bet anything ive done more motor swaps in any type of car that you have in your life. im a backyard mechanic and my ---- gets done right. the only reason i ever wanted to sell the civic and not fix it is because i have a lot of ---- goin on in my life right now.im in school right now for computer programming and im going to get ase certified so i can work at a dealership. my civic runs alot better than most would say even though it does look like a piece of ----. but to be back on topic here. i might replace the bearings, but instead i might just build the motor up and turbo it as my project. but for the time being im gonna swap in my d15b1 out of my current civic and call it a day.
