Hello All.
I am just about as confused as I can be. I have restored 2 vets and built 2 lowriders,
all 8 cyl. This will be my first 4 cyl. I bought a 1990 civic dx cheap to work with.
3 days ago I paid a Local Honda guy to go with me a pick a motor. He had bought several from Pacific Motors before and has a nice self done swap in his 90 si car.
I bought the motor for $1350. Heres my quandry. The motor has a cable tranny and is labeled YS1 #1000973. The motor is marked b16a #1400767.
The motor has extruded oil rails, 2nd gen intake, VTEC is the larger text on the cover. The plugs are all grey except the distributor which has 2 milky white plugs.
Is this a second gen with a cable tranny? Is that possible? The Honda guy told me before he left on vacation that he thought it was out of a JDM Xsi.
If anyone can help I sure would be thankful.
I can email photos of the motor to anyone interested.
Thanks all.
Ralph
