Ok, maybe someone can tell me what are my chances of passing the smog. I have a 91 Civic DX, and I am about to replace the motor for an impoort. I need to because one of the piston rods is shot. Anyways, I live in South Cali, and I am taking my car to Kay Wantanabi in Lynwood. (just in case you know them). They are going to change the head and block, but keep everything else from the other engine. You know, PCV valve, EGR, and all that. The car has been sitting for about 8 months now, and I know I need to change the cat, and I am doing all the pipping as well, with new exhaust. I am going to clean the EGR as good as I can, and I am going to let the cat warm up. But aside from that, what else can I do in order to pass the smog? They are putting new plugs, oil, and all those miscellaneous parts. Please let me know if you can help me. I don't have much cash to be tossing around for some fool to pass my smog.
