- Fri Aug 08, 2008 4:54 pm #65192 OK. I just bought a bare block and it didn't come with the main caps. Can I use the main caps from the another block but the same block?

- Fri Aug 08, 2008 8:00 pm #65204 like putting the same caps from a b16a2 into another b16a2? As long as it's the same engine, everything is interchangeable.

- Fri Aug 08, 2008 11:13 pm #65211 not really true.

Each honda engine is different. Even if both are a d15b7. You can use the main caps, but you will have to get them line honed so that everything will work right.

- Sat Aug 09, 2008 5:55 pm #65256 its something a machine shop has to do. You install the caps and make sure all the bores on the mains are lined up and good.
