I love it when guys say dont use them , but offer no reason or data for saying so. They are suppose to keep the cylinders from walking. If you took a stick and grabbed both ends and bent it, where would it break, in the middle , DUH. If you kept the ends from moving, its not going to break. So...

I am swapping my B16a head onto a B18b block and was wondering who makes the best block saver. Is there any special thing that needs to be done to install or do they just press in. I am putting in a low mileage B18 and dont intend at this stage to modify anything other than the block guard and...

Thanks again, dont know how that slipped by me, it has been corrected.

Looks not too difficult, AZ gets $110 and $100 rental on the 2 tools and it looks like the hub and bearing come out as an assembly that can be put right back in that way. I'll post pics of the results when done. I just did the calipers in Honda wrinkle red, but am going to strip them and re-do...

Kevin, thanks for the quick reply, sorry I didnt do the search for that thread first. I havent rread it yet , but does it include hub removal? I'll do a search to see, but if you know any help is good. Thanks, Marc Man, its Sunday and i'm not thinking straight, the wheel bearings are in the hub...

I am swapping an LS/Vtec into my CRX. I figure while I have it down I will swap in the Accord V6 calipers and 11" rotors. I need to remove and replace the hub and balljoint from the Civic Ex knuckle so I can powder coat them(knuckles and backing plate). Can anyone tell me the proper procedure...

B6A/B18b power comparison I see the B16 makes 160hp/111torque @7800/7000( flywheel). My B18b dynoed at 141hp/122torque(at the wheel). What can I expect from the LS/Vtec in stock form for numbers?

I am in the progress of swapping my B16a to an LS/'Vtec, where is the engine build or swap forum. And how does an ecu give more boost, Myah. I am really trying to see things from your perspective, but I cant seem to get my head that far up my ass. I found what I was looking for for the swap...

Funds are limited, I'm trying to avoid the cost of a new header when the one on it is perfectly fine. My friend works on a plasma table, I suppose if I have to I could draw one up and have him burn it for me. 9mm is not that much, I may have the clearance. I remember putting the header (4/1- 1...

Thanks for the numbers, so if there is 8.59mm clearance betwen my pan and pipe now it should work , correct?

Does anyone know the deck heights of a B16 and B18? Will a DC Sport 4/2/1 , 2pc B16 header fit on a B18 LS/VTEC?

You have reminded me again of why I dont frequent these forums. You immediately resort to name calling and negative replies instead of offering constructive replies which is what I asked for. I was asking for specifics on why it wouldnt fit. If it will fit where a D or B fit in a civic what is...

Lame ass reply to both my posts. I see the car forums havent changed any since I stopped coming here about a year ago. I'm looking for help to my questions, if you have nothing to offer in postive answers, please refrain from posting a reply.

Had everyone excited didnt I? I see they are making mount kits to put the Jseries V6 into Civic. I see that noone makes a kit for the CRX with this motor. If anyone is going to attempt this, let me know. Makes a B20 swap look whimpy now. Anyone know what the hinderance is in fitting this in ...
