Looking for personal opinions for the best engine rebuild kits for my b16. The car is a basic daily driver with no soon intentions of boost. I am also curious if anyone knows where to pick up new parts for the transmission as well at decent prices. The car has 147k on stock everything and its time to overhaul it all.

I don't know about where you are, but machine work in my area is EXPENSIVE! Like several hundred dollars of labor for just a block or head expensive. If you want OEM rebuilt kits, i've always had good luck buying from RockAuto (website). You can buy in pieces or a complete master rebuild which includes damn near everything except the block, crank, and head. I've used them many many times. Fast shipping and awesome customer service.
Piston rings, valve stem seals, bearings, head gasket, and of course all your seals. Break the glaze on the cylinder walls... You can get FelPro gaskets. They do just fine. OEM head gasket. Sealed Power bearings are fine. And some good piston rings. You'd be set. Even micropolishing the crank would be sweet.
It's not too bad. Just depends on how extensive you want to get with it.

I just want to be able to have a reliable very well running b16. The kid that had it before whooped on it and I've been replacing parts ever since i picked it up. Is there a write up in here on how to remove then engine and trans? I have done it before with a friends car but I don't want to take any risks with mine.
Super duper easy. Exhaust, mounts, hoses, plugs... Pull it out from the bottom. That's always how I've done it.
Even mark your hoses and plugs so you don't mix them up. I've done that too many times
I've never once pulled a motor out from the bottom. I've seen it done in pictures all the time but It's pretty easy to do with a cherry picker and a level thingy (Yes that's the technical term. Don't judge me).Super duper easy. Exhaust, mounts, hoses, plugs... Pull it out from the bottom. That's always how I've done it.

That's how I've ways done it. I pulled my motor out with a jack and a piece of wood the first time

Hey I did it didn't I?Lol the hardest part of pulling a motor is the shift linkage pin
b***h pin!
I watched two guys take my hatch's d16y7 and trans out through the bottom in like 25 minutes using a jack, a block of wood, and various ratchets and sockets.
