It's been a loooooong time guys and have long since sold my Em2/Eg1 but I'm back and in the D series game once again, here is my current build.
Ok so I presently drive an 08' SI sedan but I also bought a 93' ex coupe. My reason for buying the coupe had a couple determining factors, one of which being that after owning my em2 I came to the realization that I don't generally like any Civic model past the year 2000 including my SI. Secondly I had to take a 6 year loan out on my SI and I can't stand car payments but at the time I bought it the car was practical/logical without getting into the long drawn out story as to why it was practical/logical.
Anyways id like to get rid of my SI but the coupe's z6 leaks and burns oil like no other so me and my buddy spoonfedcivic/Josh have taken it upon ourselves to rebuild a reliable slightly more peppy motor for it while I've still got another means of transportation. Originally I bought a D15b2 shortblock for $200 only to find out the block was junk :-\
Thankfully a guy Josh knows gave us a good deal on a B7 block and crank , and a neighbor of Josh's had a z6 head laying around that he sold me for $80, and I purchased a rebuild kit for $180. Now onto pics
Had the block honed and the new pistons pressed into the rods
Installed the the new main bearings, thrust washers, rear main seal, reused the oil pump from the b2, replaced the oil pump seal, and installed the crank
Installed new rod bearings and pistons along with the girdle and sump from the b2
