My 91 crx Si is finally getting the motor torn apart. I got to the crank removal and now here I found the thrush washer has a weird mark on it. Can anyone tell me if this is cause for concern. Of course all new factory parts will be put back in the lower end.
A few other questions:
do the factory bearings have marks on them. I got some that say df1 and df0. I just want to know if anyone has been in this motor before. Its got 265k on it.
Also, the car has been in my garage since may.... of last year. Is that gas gonna be a problem or will it be ok. Or will I be looking at replacing the pump and shit.
Pic of thrush washer. I just opened a Photobucket account to do this
I would drain the gas and start fresh. That thrust dose not look normal to me but with a old motor like that you will have wear. Looks like it starved for oil for just a sec the other problem with thrust washers is if you ride the clutch a lot it puts constant pressure on one side thrust.
The bearings look normal. Just make sure can get your crank polished and cleaned and you should be fine. Tell them to polish the thrust surfaces too.
Thanks for the response. I guess ill be draining the 20 bucks worth of gas its got left .
The crank looks good. I guess I can have it polished. That doesn't effect what bearing it should use right? I also heard that these crank surfaces ar coated and to not have them turned. I don't know if polishing would remove the coating or not

With a polish they take off very little material maybe .0005 aka half a thousandth if that so using stock bearing will be fine you will just have a hair more clearance. I am unaware of honda cranks being coated. Getting a crank turned down will result in you needing bigger bearings.
I know the last few builds I have done are running with a polished crank.
No. Car is all stock and had some aftermarket no name clutch. I just never seen a thrush washer look like that before. It looks like the motor is virgin too, no one has been in there before. Judging by how the oils pan gasket broke in to 100's of pieces I would say no one has even has the pan off
Since Honda has stopped making most seals for D series and the ones that are available are super expensive, what is the go to kit when rebuilding a D16Z6?
Good day...... I have a zc engine.... I would like to upgrade the cam rods and pistons with a nice port and polish....... Can any one recommend a cam Rods and pistons?
I have a 1990 crx si with the original d16a6. I wont to build the original motor. The head has had a value job and has been shaved. Machine shop has stated that the block needs to be bored out at least .10000. What is the best bore to go with being I have to bore it? And what pistons and rods...
Hey guys I researched and found alot of controversy on this topic people not including full writeups and so forth and calling bs saying it cant be done or he/she is a liar cause of lack of proof but im here to say it can be done! And is pretty straight forward too.
1st. You gotta block your oil...
I wanna run a second alternator in my 95DX coupe with D16z6 engine. I wanna do this to charge a bank of batteries in a campsite.
Are there off the shelf high output alternators available for d16z6? I really wanna run two, though, so I can have even more charging available.
Also, how much...
