Ebay D16

By andyc
- Wed Jun 23, 2010 6:25 pm #201708 Hey all, I have my eye on a D16 on ebay. I'm waiting to hear which D16 (hopefully a Z6). This is all that was written;

Honda civic 1.6 v-tec sohc engine for sale, comes complete with gearbox, wiring lume, ecu, altenater, ect has done 64000 miles but has been stood on the garage floor for over a year now, so sold as a project, any other questions please ask.

Ive asked if it runs/when it was last run... If it ran before it was left in the garage, is there gonna be issues after its been sat a year in a garage??

heres the link - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-CIVIC-1-6-V-TEC-ENGINE-SOHC-64000-MILES-/160447994190?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item255b72194e

- Fri Jun 25, 2010 6:10 am #201918 Yeha, not a y8. y8's had the oil dipstick on the timing belt side of the block not the center.

And being that it has been "tunerized" with some flashy red paint on the block, I would assume its a z6.. my 2 cents.

- Tue Jun 29, 2010 4:46 pm #202461 I won it :woot:

£102 or $153 US dollars for a D16Z6 with gearbox, wiring, ecu and all ancillaries. Ive either got a bargain here or Ive made a big mistake... :roll:

If its broke, ill just rebuild it. Its still gotta be worth it right? plus, I want to learn to build an engine anyway :D

Does it come with the injectors and fuel rail?
be sure the engine spins freely by hand before you give him the $$$

Are you planning on rebuilding it or trying it as-is?

- Wed Jun 30, 2010 7:38 am #202592 I was planning on buying a rebuild kit of some sort, the most extensive one I can buy. Rebuild it slowly and properly then I'd love to give it some baby boost till I can afford uprated parts... or just save up and make do with my B7 for now :?

Im assuming any D series rail will fit it if it dosent? and how easily should it turn over by hand??

- Wed Jun 30, 2010 1:08 pm #202604 with out the tranny engaged, remove the spark plugs and you should be able to spin it easily by turning the crank pulley.

(You'll be fighting the compression if you leave the plugs in)
