Xeryon Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I want to help but helping as a 3rd party is tough. Engine swaps are not things that normal mechanics are exposed to so try not to crucify him too much over the on-going problems. There are numerous extensive write ups on various Honda message boards about swapping a b18b into your civic and all the details that involves. The trouble begins with knowing what steps your mechanic has already tried and not, and how much he knows about Honda swaps or not and it gets tougher from there. If he's a half decent mechanic he isn't going to be thrilled when you show up with random suggestions from a nobody on a message board either. But again, search out "b18b swap how to" and start reading extensively. You will find what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
