I recently put a b18c swap into my 94 civic ex and i did it myself.
I cant believe the difference between the single and dual overhead cams
But I am having a couple of problems:
It wont stay in fifth gear, it is ok in all gears but 5th and reverse doesnt sound healthy not as smooth as it should be. i have tried turning the shifter around but it didnt help. im just not getting enough throw in fifth and reverse. what is wrong?
My carbon fiber hood wont shut either i put my stock hood back on and it only closes when pressed on hard. are their any carbon fiber hoods out there with a little more clearance than the stock hood? this bigger motor sits a little higher than the d16z did in the engine bay. i can see it is higher than the fenders when looking from the side. could it be the hasport mounts? or just that this is a bigger engine and all hoods wont clear it?
if you have any intell on this please let me know
other than these problems I am having a wonderful time with my swap but am still taking it easy untill i get fifth gear figured out
