another b18b1 question

[ernestoexpresso]

ok so my friend knows someone with a b18b1 he said the piston rings burnt out and hes sellin the motor for $300 is that a good deal for what is wrong with it and to throw it in a 95 civic dx what will i need and about how much horses would it make?

If that was all that was wrong with it I'd say that's a good price... but I'm no expert.....

well could burnt out pistons lead to other problems that may be unknown at the time?

If your goin to buy the motor for a swap.. its best to rebuild the bottom end while the motor is out of the car

They make about 140 horses stock, and about 128 ft/lbs torque. So if you were to compare to a B16, less horses, more torque...

ahhh i see well i guess im going to go for the rebuild

That would be your best bet.. instead of takin your time doing the swap and them miles down the road you not only have a bad bearing, but something else is wrong now.. doesnt make sense to do the work twice!
