HONDA D16 REBUILD - D16Y8 - VTEC - EJ8 CIVIC 

You’re right. Exhaust didn’t have a bung for catalytic converter since it was an aftermarket replacement. Mint

To be completely honest, the rebuild kit came from rock auto. It was about a day of work with the right tools but a few things were a little bit different and caused some trouble. The rock auto oil pump was packaged well but had studs that broke due to a hole being drilled down the middle. Also the front crank seal wasn’t the proper size and had to be replaced almost immediately. The valve seals were extremely brittle as well. Overall I would recommend the bearings, pistons, rings and gasket set but I’d lean more towards an oem oil pump and valve seals to eliminate the headache. It’s still running to this day with no issues or leaks!! The rebuild only cost about 350 so if you have a little time just check tolerances and crank wear then give it a shot if you’d like.

I would recommend felpro to eliminate risk. It worked for a while and failed. The coating had delaminated causing a leak.

@@Waterboys_detailing so ill buy one from felpro?

@@Waterboys_detailing but why it failed cause its oem head gasket

Assuming you have all the parts, a few hours. Pretty easy

Hahaha 🤣 big facts

Tbh Rockauto tape is god mode stuff. It takes a sacrifice to cut tbh xD

No bank one oxygen sensor. Had shop build an exhaust but new exhaust was missing the threaded bung

To be completely honest, it worked great for a few months. The head gasket did fail later as well as the timing belt. Felpro head gasket and duralast belt are holding up awesome though! Everything else from the kit worked flawlessly

@@Waterboys_detailing I'm thinking about swapping mine out with a K Series.
