I have an eg6 track car with a standard b18c.
Unfortunately I managed to put a conrod threw the block while racing. I don't have it that long and am new to Hondas.
What's my best option? I'm in cavan.
 
Another bottom end by the sounds of it.
 
Where in cavan are you? Im west cavan, aslong as the head isnt damaged you,ll get away with just a bottom end
 
John,

I'm not far from ballyjamesduff. Going to take the head off on Saturday and see whats it's like.
Seen an complete engine on donedeal but I can't hear it running , it's at the right money but.
 
When I did the same during a race my b16b head was fine. Valves and all.
 
It's strange that it happened, no warning or knocking. Just went bang on the 2nd stage.
 
Went to look at a complete engine this evening, the block is stamped b18c and the head p72-1 is this a type r head ?

P72-1 is a b18c4 head they have a different inlet manifold to a b18cr the b18cr is the better head a worth than a b18c4 head

It's advertised as a 96 integra type r engine. It must of had it's head replaced with a b18c4 at some stage.
 
Its prob an integra gsr engine there stamped as a b18c but really just a c4 engine i think

IMO if a motor has been split you will find it hard to buy a good trustworthy bottom end....


But in the link below ... this is a great motor for the money for sale in N.Ireland but he will be able to post on a pallet if you can't collect. Very genuine member and I can assure you its a solid healthy engine

You can sell your spare head on or keep it as a spare and build it to a higher spec in the future..
 
Could by another block cheap and do a rebuild? You'll know it's fresh then.
Money and time though...
 
If you have time and proper tools, better take your block apart. Inspect and measure to be sure. sometimes only a few parts need to be swapped.
As jesse888 says you will be sure you have a fresh block.
 
Getting some where now, I have got a bare block so I am planing on using my crank and putting in new pistons and rods. What should I go for oem ? Where
Would I get them ?

Also the head has 2 damaged valves so this will have to be repaired and skimmed.
