my friend got a b16 out of a front end wreck
the problem is that the timing belt side mount snapped off...
i mean it actually broke the block
the motor will still run, no internal damage, except for where the mount bolts to the motor
my question is has anyone ever had this happen?
have you ever welded it?
what would welding do to cylinder #1... heat it up too much? oblong the cylinder walls?
now i know the simple and best way to fix it in my honest opinion, and i have told him this over and over, is to get a B20 block and mount his b16 head to it
but he doesn't seem to wanna make that frankenstein motor...
anyone have hp and torque figures for a B20 with B16 head...?
maybe figures will sway his opinion?
and a side question, can he still use his b16 tranny with a B20 DOHC vtec conversion
