What's guy? I'm still new to the Honda scene so I'm just learning. I'm just wondering if this engine is worth rebuilding. I have a y8 that came out of my girlfriends ex that threw a rod through the oil pan. i have the complete engine with tranny, ecu and all. She wanted a b16 so thats what i swapped in for her. The rason I'm asking is because my dad just gave me a 93 dx coupe that needs a motor and I would rather build one instead of just swapping something in. Any help is appreciated.
Is it worth it??
