where can i buy d16y8 rods

By civic eg-k
- Mon Oct 03, 2011 1:48 am #275850 i bought a bare block for my cousin when his 96 civic ex motor blew. we were thinking of overhauling all parts into the used block but his rods where burnt and one was gone shreaded btw pistons r still good.

where is a good place to get rods? or can i use z6 rods?

he let me keep his complete head with everything and im just trying to do a a mini me at the moment until im able to piece together the d16y8....
i just really want to rebuild a motor for my own pleasure and to gain more experience with the motors.
or let me know what u guys would do with it.

you will want another crank and 4 new rods.
just curious, how many thousand miles was it driven with the rod knocking loud enough to wake the dead?
