Update time!
LOTS of work in the last week.
Sunday the D16Z6 seized, so my cousin and l swapped in a D16ZC he had. Started and ran, but there was a CEL, a coolant leak, and a backyard rigged distributor.
Monday l went to picknpull and got the proper distributor, then went back to my cousin's. We put that in, fixed the coolant leak, then cleaned up the aftermath of a dirty, dirty swap.
Tuesday in school l replaced a caliper that was leaking a bit. Later l dropped by dynomotive and Toma turned off VTEC in the ECU for me so that it doesn't throw a CEL anymore.
Wednesday in school l started a suspension install, got the fronts completely done with 10 minutes to spare, so we started to do one corner of the rear and of course an LCA bolt snapped.
Today we only had 2 hours in the shop so l had to bust ass to get it drivable again. Took a combination of sawzall + die grinder + air chisel to get the job done, but it's on the road for the weekend. Currently lowered at 3/4 corners hahaha.
Tuesday it'll be that last corner, a GSR rear sway, then outer tie rod ends if we have time.
Here's a shot of the new engine. It's a D16ZC non-VTEC. And it moves.
When l'm done messing around l might get the bay detailed, cause it needs it, bad.

Yeah all stock internals.
l'll try and get rid of the valve covers locally first but if l can't l'll let you know.
Oh yeah and blacksilo, the head seized, but the bottom end was knocking and sounded like it wanted to chuck a rod out.
