ok, i am doing some research on honda engines, and was wondering what the differces are between a 98 1.6 sohc, and a 2.0 dohc prelude motor. are the blocks the same? what is the bore/stroke of each of these motors? if there are any people on the board who know honda engines really good, as far as differances between different honda 4 bangers can you im me on aol, my screen name is tonyss350
thanks.

 

There was no 1.6L or 2.0L prelude engine in '98.

The last 2.0L Prelude engine I know of is the 1989 B20A. I don't know of any 1.6L Prelude engine, ever.

I think you are seriously confusing Civic/CRX D-series engines and Civic/CRX/Integra B-series. They have zero compatibility.

 

no i meant a 1.6(civic engine) and a 2.0 prelude engine. i basically want to know if they are the same bore.

 

Nope, not even close. Sorry.

 

well... do you have a site that lists the block differences, and bore and stroke combos for honda engines?

 

No, but if you look around this site and on google.com long enough, you'll probably find something. Are you looking for something specifically? What are you trying to do?

 

this was the first place i looked. im helping out a friend who doesnt know how to research things for shit. he wants to do a 2.0 swap into his civic, but i told him he might be ablke to swap in a different rotating assembly into his 1.6 block. thats why i was wondering the bore/stroke combos for honda engines. i think hot rod had an insert for that shit a few months ago, but thinking i would never want to know that stuff, i threw it in the garbage. so if you know someone who knows alot about honda engines and shit, please post thier aol screen name so i can try to contact them.
thanks, tony

 

if he wants to put a 2 liter into his civic, tell him to get a b20b out of a crv.

 

he was considering that too, but i was gonna try to save hiom some cash and help him build an original motor using his block.

 

what engine does he have in there right now?
