Well as most of you guys know, I've been having quite a bit of problems with my motor. I blame it on me for being in soooooo much of a rush that I didn't check everything to if they were in operating conditions. Well I pieced this motor together and now I'm pulling it all apart; for your viewing pleasure. So if you've never pulled a motor out before I'll explain it as I go. The main reason for me breaking down the motor is because I have a horrific oil leak, which costs me hundreds in buying more oil lol. This is all being brought to you by my camera phone.....FTW

The first thing that I did was to drain out all the oil, transmission fluid, and coolant.

When I drains the oil from my transmission, I got a good look at what I was spitting out lol
http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/JDM_EK4/Photo-0226-1.jpg

I then pulled out my battery and Intake (Oil going through Intake as seen in pic)

Then I purged the fuel from the filter
http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/JDM_EK4/Photo-0228-1.jpg

After that I started pulling off my wiring harness, so that I don't break a connector or something

Sorry for the pics getting smaller, my phone was trying to be a smart-ass lol, but I then pulled the harness from out the car and started to pull of the hoses, not cutting them.

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/JDM_EK4/Photo-0239.jpg

I then pulled the "Bitch Pin" out along with my axles.
http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/JDM_EK4/Photo-0244.jpg

Sorry for the lack of pics on that :camera: :no:

To the pulling and mounting on the engine stand :goodjob:

Then I started to pull of everything, so that I'm able to clean it off without damaging anything.

Grimm Reeper
02-02-2008, 11:29 PM

Power tools are over rated! lol
I really don't want to break mine down but the motor i have has been sitting for over 6 months ... uncovered and outside :no: . Im kinda worried there might be something wrong with it.
Go ahead and buy you some p30's (jdm b16 piston i believe:thinking: ) bump up the comp a little.

Grimm Reeper
02-03-2008, 10:56 PM
I was talking to a co-worker and he said that I'll be better off getting some forged pistons instead of Honda OEMs :thinking:

Well yeah if you gonna get forged rods too! Obviously there gonna be better but you pay for what you get. If im not mistaken the p30s have a little bit higher dome than that of the usdm ones; Hence the 10hp b/t JDMvsUSDM b16's but don't quote me on that! lol

Grimm Reeper
02-03-2008, 11:23 PM
The CTR are fawked from being in the B16A2. I got this block fully assembled and was in a rush to drop it in my car so I didn't take the time to inspect it.

JDMjoe
02-03-2008, 11:25 PM

Grimm Reeper
02-03-2008, 11:27 PM

Thanx :goodjob: . If and when you attempt, don't panic...lol everything is easy, but just know that you'll need to invest in some after-market head bolts.



Besides that, left the Acura Dealership with my rear-main seal, Pilot Bearing, and Oil Strainer Gasket. I had to order my pistons, looks like I'm going ITR :goodjob:

Grimm Reeper
02-04-2008, 02:47 PM
Since I had to order my pistons, but they'll be here tomorrow. I could only assemble the back of the block while replacing O-Rings and all that good stuff.

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/JDM_EK4/No2.jpg

As I replaced the O-Rings going to the water pump, I decided to check out the Water Pump to make sure that it was good and boy was I in for a big surprise lol

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/JDM_EK4/Fawk.jpg

It looked like someone has been chewing on it, but luckily I still have my water pump from my other B16 motor around.

much props, Tony...It's inspiring to see you teardown and then rebuild your motor. I used to have time, but it rarely ever happens anymore.
