what should i do?

I would have to agree with Magius. It would be cheaper to purchase a used motor than rebuild the old one. You should be able to find a d16 for pretty cheap too.

ya its smarterr to buy another USED MOTOR that will prob give you a head ache after xxx amount of miles then rebuild one that you know gonna last you over 100k

not necessarily....i bout my motor now in my civic that a few people on the boards can vouch for with perfect compression...would have cost me around 300 to rebuild my other d series and i got this one for $120 from a friend and it had 60k on it...now i mean i wouldnt replace a 150k motor with another but it does make sense MOST of the time...its pointless to rebuild a D for stock, especially for those who cant do a rebuild or afford the downtime you come off just as cheap getting another engine

true you got a great deal cosidering the mileage and condition but not everyone has homies to hook them up or good connections at that
know get me a single cam z6 lol. .

jp.. awaiting my old b16 from my 4 door to put inot my eg'

ok bakc to the topic

if you get a good deal liek steveo then why not go for it .
But if your gonna buy it from a shop and mileage condition is unsure, your best bet is to rebuild

Depending where you purchase the motor from can determine if you are going to have headaches in the future. To rebuilt a motor RIGHT it will cost you almost twice as much as rebuilding a motor.
