From the looks of things the y7 short block is identical to a y8. Same crank, rods, pistons,etc. Why not use it?

Nebraska...There are no reasonable y8 engines around here in the salvage yards or craigslist. The ones i did find were way over 100K miles and $900 plus. I can buy the non-vtecs and vtec-e engines for $300+, that's what i ended up doing. I'm going to re-ring and bearing the y7 block and put my...

Ugh, $1400 for a used 100K miles y8 motor. I sent the head out to the machine shop and they said it is fixable. I bought a y7 engine and am just going to rebuild it and stick my head on it. Are the blocks(rings/bearings) the same on the d16 engines? I need to order an engine kit. I guess order...

I have a 97 civic ex that tossed a rod. It is vin 8 1.6 vtec engine/auto trans. I can't find one of these engines locally and need to get this thing running for my son. I'm a little confused on the whole d16y7, y8, etc. I assume my car is the d16y8 by the vin? Can I use the base 1.6 non vtec...
