I have a 99 Civic SI (EM1) with a clean body and interior but a crap B16A2 that's burning 1 to 1-1/2+ qts of oil every 200 miles or so depending on how I drive, unfortunately it wouldn't pass smog. I replaced the Valve Guide Seals and the oil burning didn't even slow down. So blown rings means REBUILD!!! I'm looking to convert my EM1 to all Ek Type R parts but all I can really find is Piston Heads, no Rods, no Bearings, no Crank Shaft, etc. Local shops (OC or within 25 miles) would be best for me, but ordering online isn't a big deal either, I just need the parts ASAP. I'm not going to do a swap, I want to keep the originality of my EM1, I just would like to upgrade the internals to something more reliable and a little more power. If anyone has any leads please let me know. Please no "just do a swap" or "b16s are slow" or any other negativity, if I wanted to swap my motor, it would've been done already. My mind is set on Ek Type R conversion on my coupe.
Thank you.
Thank you.
