Umm, usually, Rod knocks don't go away.

If you plan on keeping the car for a while, I personally would buy another low mileage motor off of here, build it, and run that other motor into the ground.

Fuck oil changes, they cost money. Put it all towards the swap. You can at least make it a year without an oil change

hey, like i always say...if your gunna go B...why not go K? not nearly as common, and how stoked would you be to say you have a k powered CRX. Unless your presed with money, then the B series might be more up your ally

I'm in the same situation except my D15 has 220K. If I go B16, do I have to ditch my A/C?
