i am very new in honda stuff and wanna buy a late 90s honda civic with the d16 in it. and i heard there is a d17 engine out there i would like to know what the difference is and if i could use the crank in the d16 for a little longer stroke(don't worry gunna turbo it after that) so if anyone can answer i'll be grateful

what the ---- is a d17?

The D17 comes on the new 01+ civics. I don't think anything is interchangeable

I would like to know this question myself... just not enough of them out their yet I guess...

I'm guessing its going to have different journal sizes.

i thought the new engines were K-series?

No, the civics with the single cam motors are still D's. Now they have DIS and all that other crap. However, don't the new D's spin the other way? I know the exhaust exits the head in the rear. I think they are reversed.

ya thats correct, they spin the othe way, so I would say no to the crank. firing order is probably different.

D17's still spin counter clockwise guys... and exhaust is still of the front side of the head..

yeah jeff is right...
the d17 still looks like a d16, except its a bit more boxed... the oil pan is more squared and a bit larger. They have one on an auto stand at the auto recycler where I got my d16z6.
My guess'd be they are interchangable... only one way to find out!
