Ok I threw a rod bearing in the EX.

I am having troubles finding a replacement d16z6, and one place told me they had a d15b vtec that would work in its place, but I am not sure that it will.

I need this to be a very straight forward simple swap, with no modification. I just want the car to run again and run well, so that I can finish the sale of it and move on to the next car.

If anyone knows the real truths behind all this let me know.

Thanks.
