Honda Civic Engine Swap, from 90 to 92.
Could any of you tell me if this is possible?
Take the bare Engine block from a 90 Civic, and insert into a 92 Civic using the 92 "hardware" Intake/ exhaust/ tranny. I found out that the gasket for 88 to 95 are essentially the same and so it should be possible? Is it?Help? |

However, according to a book I have related to Honda cars, the 1990 Honda Civic is part of the Forth Generation of Civics (1988-1991) and the 1992 Civic is part of the Fifth Generation of Civics (1992-1995). This means that you MAY run into some problems with the swap. This does NOT mean that it is an impossible project. I welcome the posts from people that have successfully made such a swap. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIPERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Thanks Jason, I have looked at both engines and they are quite similar.
After checking some things out, it appears that in this case, all I need to do is a head swap.(Timing belt broke and there is valve damage on the 92) Are you aware of any problems with regards to the swap between a generation 4 and 5 heads only? I checked the specs and they appear to be the same. I also checked the gaskets and they are the same from 88 to 95 so in theory they should be the same, right? |

Is there some benefit to swapping the head? Why not just replace the bent valves, lap them to make sure that they seat well, and be done with it. Note that I would also replace all of the valve stem seals while you have things apart. Eric |
