b16a2 (
Name: James

Price: $375
Description:
I have a 2000 b16a2 that was converted to OBD1 for my 2000 civic. This engine was rebuilt by a shop in Southern California in July 2006 with JE rods, JE 8.5/1 forged low compression pistons. It has been bored out 20 over as well. It has a block guard, exedy clutch, lightened flywheel, and retainers on the head. Engine has about 15,000 miles on the engine with 7-8 pounds of boost.
Long story short, the reader for the electronic oil pressure gauge broke off and the oil got pumped out which locked up the engine. I did not have the time to repair it because this was on my daily driver so I did a complete engine swap and had all the work done at Auto Upgrade in Chantilly. They said the bearings between the rods and the crank disintegrated which locked up the motor. The rest of the engine looked fine to them. I would imagine the rings would need replacing too though at a minimum.
It is not a COMPLETE swap though because the shop did not give me back all my parts, like the stock headers from the new b16 I picked up, and some motor mounts I think. I do have the stock ECU for it and a wiring harness.
Anyway I am just looking to get this engine out of my garage and would prefer to sell all of it together to the first person with 375 (pick it up in Ashburn) or 425 delivered locally (within 20 miles of me).
Thanks guys.
