D16Z6 swap on a VX

[asanti76]

Help!

I over tightened the valve cover bolt and broke TWO of them bolts.

And since im doing a swap soon.... here are my options:

1) JB Weld the valve cover to prevent it from leaking (it seeps a little bit since the incident)
...... this will help me save more money to eventually get the engine of my dreams


or....

2)

just get the D16Z6 engine and stick with that engine.



Ps:
Doing the d16zc swap, would i need any other
part? How hard is it to actually install this engine in vx?
i need to be able to install this over the weekend if possible.

Would i need new ecu? harness? vtec selonoid?

im looking at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2479084273&category=33615


and its just the engine.

so should i jbweld? or go with the d16zc and just stick with that engine?


Thanks for any advice

just unbolt the valve cover, use a 10mm deep socket and get the studs out, go to the dealer or a parts store and buy new studs.

I'd say DONT buy a motor from ebay, lol...there should be lots of better places to get one. oh and check this out....it wasnt a VX but same idea.

ok i dont own a civic but if you just busted the bolts on the valve cover buy an easy out its cheaper than jb weld and its the right way to remove the broken stud's you will need to drill a hole in the center of the broken studs so the easy out can grip the inside and just switch the drill in reverse once you have the easy out in the drill and put it in the hole you drilled and pull the trigger. wd40 may also help a bit just dont spray too much, i doubt it would be good for any rubber seals it may come in contact with

they can drill out what broke off...there are torque specs for a reason
