Oil pump ? for the B series gods...
I'm getting ready to put my non-tec together...b16a bottom with the LS head for now...and i'm having an issue. I've been having a hard time trying to get a b16 oil pump (the block only has the rotating assembly on it), and Honda themselves want a monster nut for a new pump. I still have my LS oil pump that will fit on, but would it even be worth it? I used to do a couple of spring change tricks with my old D-series oil pumps that up the oil psi, but I don't know if the volume would be upped as well. This motor in it's current setup will never see over 7800 rpm due to the head, so should i just keep hunting for the b16 pump or just re-adjust the LS pump instead?

i have a gsr oil pump with about 12K mile son it for 20 bux +ship if you want it homey
the LS pump is just not adequit enough to give proper oiling, hence the main reason for so many spun rod bearings

so when you guys do these ------ b16/ls combos, do you block the port in the block or just say ---- it and hope the head/gasket will be fine? I would think some oil seapage would happen on the oil feed corner (for vtec)

I'm pretty sure it's a 5/16" plug. 3/8" is too small. That's the only part of the block that the LS HG doesn't cover.
Lemme do some more searching, but i'll probably take you up on that. A stock LS bottom with a vtec head i know can't handle the extra oiling needs, but it's not gonna have a vtec head on it just yet. But still...y change the pump twice
