is this worth it?
in my quest to find daily driver in order to save the mileage on my audi, and rebuild my b16 turbo,trying to convert to ls vtec turbo, I found a 89 prelude si b20a5, I want to know if the price is worth it, the body is perfect, the clutch as a problem, have to bleed the clutch all the time, getting air, the owner change both cylinders, still have the problem. But I was thinking that if I cant fix it I could use the block for a b20vtec, how different is the lsvetec from the b20vtec? I noticed its tilted in the prelude engine bay, engine mount etc.

Did I mentioned that it only cost $500? and I plan to negotiate the price to $400, the car still looks good, engine runs good, only problem is shifting, sounds like an easy fix for a daily driver, does it?

hahah...hey...i sold my muti-colored/primered crx...with no glass at all...no engine...no interior...but a chromemoly cage...for 1400. people buy all kinds of things. REMEMBER...your trash is someone elses TREASURE! and yeah...that is the WORSE b20 ever....and the sohc is a f20. i think yours is a b20A. but sounds like that lude has a leak in the hard lines......just my 2 cents.

just a FYI, thats not a "normal" b-series engine.. it doesnt have the same bell housing config as other "b-series" transmissons, so good luck finding a tranny that will work on it and work in your car at the same time. The mount is also slightly different, and sits at a funny angle. Its the bastard of B-series, trust me.. even if someone gave me one I would probably throw it away, it has no use.
