Hey guys,
My name is John and I drive a 1993 Civic HB. I bought the car roughly 3 weeks ago and am loving every bit of it. The previous owner swapped in a b18b1 with unknown mileage. Unfortunately the previous owner did not do to good of a job maintaining the car. So far I have replaced the oil pan, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. This is my first honda, my last car was a 1991 Talon TSI AWD. I will be painting it later on down the road since its in primer. I had to order the corner lights 'cause the previous owner took them off for some reason. I have been reading quite a bit lately but did not feel like posting anything until introducing myself. The future of the b18 is uncertain for now as I am pondering another engine swap. I am not familiar with honda engines and don't know if its worth working on the b18b1, or switching over to another engine. I will upload pictures tomorrow because I left my camera at work. Well, now off to research that engine swap. Any recommendations?

My brother had one, so I know what they are like. Pics pleaseee!
The selling point was not the power I could squeeze out of the engine, I just really liked the way it drove. It reminds me of driving a go-kart for some reason, but I would like for it to have a bit more kick to it.
