Engine Question

[Tre Jones]

If I look at my engine like most honda engines you can see the type of engine it is. Mine says b18a1 but is that the head or the block? I need to know how much oil to put back into my engine after I replace my oil pan gasket and I dont know if it depends on the block or the head or what. The motor is out of either a 94 or 96 integra not sure. Maybe they all held the same amount of oil? Please help

that is the engine code, the head code is usually between one of the exhaust ports

 

[Tre Jones]

where are the exhaust ports

 

[Jersey8]

the exhaust ports are where the head connects to your exhaust manifold.
your head does not care how much oil you put in. you have a b18a1 block. if you have a stock oil pan, use the same procedure as if you were changing your oil normally. throw 3.5 quarts in there with a new filter. run the engine for about 5 mins, check the dipstick. add oil if necessary. not that difficult

not that difficult

It is difficult, if they don't know where the exhaust ports are....

^ this.

Buying a haynes manual for the 92-00 civic/integra will answer 90% of the questions you can think of.
