Haven't updated this in awhile.

Drove 2 1/2 hours to pick up a b16 y21 trans.



Also picked up(what a believe) is a b16a3 head.



Heres the head code and year if anyone can tell me is I'm right on which head it is.

First time reading this thread, and enjoy it so far. Did you get a decent price on that trans? 2 1/2 hour drive is a good long way. Also, what color was that replacement fender originally? Appears you painted it that purple color. And, are you planning to paint any other parts of the car the same purple color? It's certainly an interesting color choice.

Paid $400 for the trans. The fender was originally white. Just used purple to darken it up. Going to repaint the car the original color.

Good progress. Are you going to freshen up the ls or leave it alone

Sounds like a plan. Hard to beat a solid b16 imo

Yeah. PA roads are filled with holes. Almost impossible to dodge them all.
It was back together in a few hours.

glad to hear it's back together. My wife's CR-V broke the driver balljoint in Jan, then the passenger one broke in Feb! Luckily both times were at low speeds on residential streets.

That sucks that both happened so close to each other.

yup. it just got totaled by the insurance company this weekend, due to a hit and run last month with an uninsured driver. So, balljoint work (as well as replacing both upper control arms, one axle and a brake line) all for nothing.

yeah, the CR-V value was crap. Only got $3300 for it. Hard to find my wife another for around that price, but still looking. Too bad she doesn't drive manual, or she could borrow one of my Civics for a few days
