ZC block girdle problem
 

I bought a bare dohc zc block from someone on here awhile ago and finally got around to taking it apart after like 6 months. It turns out it has a pg6 girdle from an integra on there. I've been told without the original one the block is junk. Is this true?

no, if I recall my zc block had a PG6 emblem on the main girdle as well, remember lots of parts (even though they have different codes on them) are for that block. Look at cam gears on GSR's they all say PR3 (b16's) I dont think I'd worry about it. But you may want to tripple check your bearing clearences when your building the block just to be sure ;)

I ran into another problem. I was busting some rusty bolts on my turbo loose to clock it, and the thing jump out of the vice and landed on the girdle. Now it's cracked and no good. Is this replacable, like have a shop bore them to match eachother, or would that cost to much bother with.

I used a a6 girdle on my built ZC block because I lost mine.

lmao honda interchangability at its best.

btw what happened to that motor? i know u sold it, heard anything about it?

Mine did as well.

Well I threw an a6 girdle on and there's slight difference in them. You and feel a tiny edge when you rub the bearing surface. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Otherwise my project goes on hold till I find another block.

What kind of shop would do that? I talked to an engine rebuilder and he didn't even know anyone in my area that would do it.

A machine shop.
