Default What's up?

Don't give up on the USDM CRV engines yet. The '99+ CRV's have the 9.6 compression engines as well. If you get lucky, you might even find a local wrecked CRV that you can grab the engine out of. Be a lot easier not having to pay shipping on such a big part, and if you leave the tranny, manifold and misc bits you don't need, you might even get it cheap (some wrecking yards might not know what it's worth). Just an idea though.

If you can find a B20 with flywheel and clutch, great. I wouldn't pass up good engines if they don't though and I would seriously consider upgrading to new parts anyway. Costs a little bit more but you get what you pay for. You cut corners on little things, and it can come back and bite you. Seeya.
