2002 civic engine question?

[silversol]

i am looking at a 2002 civic lx that needs a short block. it has a 1.7 and looking at it it looks just like a regular d series in a ek just with out a dizzy. my question is will a regular d series short block out of a ek interchange with it?

From what i know it wont fit, i think the heads are totally different as well as the deck height.

From what i have heard of course.

What are you trying to accomplish?


Here's the deal - the oilways don't line up. Check out a side-by-side comarison of a D17 and a D16 block.

And here's a D16 gasket sitting on top of a D17 block.

I'm not saying that you can't mate a D16 head with a D17 block (and I'd think it would be cool) but I'd be interested in how it's done just like everyone else.

FYI... I bought a 30,000 mile d17a2 for $300....
