HCF Project Section - Motor Build By 03CIVEX

So here is the moral of the story...i traded some kid some cash and a sub/amp/box for this civic. Obviously it needs a bit of love and affection and she will be ready for many more years of service. So when i got the car it had a torn driver side CV boot, rod through the block, piston crown shattered, connecting rod bent every possible way and a beautiful hole two different places in the oil pan. Anyways, here come some pre-construction pictures.

A little advanced stages of typical honda rot, will take a little time to fix up but body work
is no biggie.

The old D16Z6 torn down a bit, popped the rear piston out

you can obviously see some of the destruction, some forces are rather impressive.

Even though there is a rod through the side of the block, the good news is i discovered there is a lightweight flywheel of some sort, i am unable to identify its maker, if anybody knows what it is PLEASE TELL ME!

Whew. Honda Cancer! Glad to see another project. Thanks for posting tons of pics.

10/14/08 i got my new motor the D16Y7 (Will post pics soon), paid around $150 for a working motor. Took the intake manifold off and torque converter. Hopefully try and get some money from them. I also took the valve cover off and everything looks good. So i assume everything is in decent condition.

nothing a little grinder and love cant fix :)

get some light on the subject

with the light brown color on everything it looks like somebody took care of the motor,
no hardcore hydrocarbon deposits.

D16Z6 head bolted to the D16Y7 block, need to get front pulley off so i can get the motor timed.

Lovin the pics love the donor motor lol THATS WHERE ITS AT!

keep up the good work and ill throw it in the project thread.

I personally would have used the Y7 head with the Z6 intake manifold:) Keep up the good work though.

whats the project thread?, i plan on getting more pics up tomorrow, the motor should be going in then :) Hopefully everything works out great

hey btw if you need any d parts hit me up im trying to clear my shed of a complete d16y7 swap so ill sell just about anything. i think its a different intake mani though
