I tried doing a search guys but must not have worded it right... I have a 91 HF CRX and she is going through some pretty heavy oil, I look out the drivers side mirror and I can watch a puff (CLOUD) if I stomp on the gas too much, so I have a feeling the rings are shot. Keep in mind, 205k miles... now my buddy has an 88 CRX 1.5L (he said its a 16v?), what are the odds these two vehicles are exact and I can do swaps out of the 88 into mine? the 88 needs a distributor he says and thats why he wants to get rid of it. I can probably get it off him for around $200 LOL. It has FULL interior, body is pretty beat but the engine actually runs better than mine.

if I am able to pull off this deal, can I interchange the two vehicles? The body on my 91 is very good considering its been in New England for the majority of its life, and I have a very sizeable competition stereo in it that I really dont want to remove... but will if I have to?

I have a part 2 to this question, but lets discuss this fairly simple question right now... are they swappable? I know one of the years in the 2g is a 'black sheep' so ....

thanks everyone Jason
