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?

:confused:

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
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?
