why did they swap my engine

[2.0civic]

your mechanic is a dumbass. WTF is a 1.9?? bigger swap would have been alot in a honda...so you went in for shaky idle and they replaced your motor? what shop is this

[ruffriderGA]

no it was shaking hard at idle and he told me the reason is shakes is because it had a swap and it was a hack job

he showed me the shitty motor mount...

but yeah basically im trying to see if he was feeding me a line of BS or what? :confused:

edit-

i just realized i worded this thread wrong as hell, it was shaking already and they told me the reason it shakes is because the previous owner did a swap and it was a hack-job. the shop didnt swap my motor because it was shaking at idle

I have a 97 civic ex and the mechanic i took it to today because it shakes at idle told me that they swapped from stock 1.6 to a 1.9 in my car and didnt do the motor mounts right and thats why it shakes (hack job)

can anyone tell me why they would have done the swap from 1.6 to just 1.9 and not have done a bigger swap?

huh? Maybe it's bc it's 6am but can you start over?

The stock engine is a D16 right? and you claim a 1.9 was put in it? "Only" a 1.9 at that? There is no 1.9, there is a 1.7 though but doubt that would have been put it in....A stock integra engine is 1.8 so why do you say "only" 1.9?
