My car is a 1991 Honda civic hatchback std. The car is as basic as possible. It was orig. a 1.5 4spd car without power steering, tilt wheel, rear wiper, power windows or locks, no sway bars and all time favorite... no right side mirror.
I bought the car in sept of 2001 after wrecking my 91 grand prix. In Feb of 2002 I had enough cash to do an engine swap in the car. I did the swap on my spring break in just under 20 hours (my first swap ever). soon after right before my graduation in june I had a retainer break and a valve drop into the cylinder causing a very shitty day for my piston. The car went into storage, I couldnt afford anything since I was leaving IN for IL to go to college. The car sat in a barn for 9 months until I had enough cash to perform the second swap, another b16.

update:july 19th 2003
The car is being taken apart. It has a minor miss and is stuttering throwing codes etc. I did a CLT test and confirmed a bent valve only 3%leakage but its enough. I also found out that the leak through my number 3 cylinder has become even larger from the 5% two months ago to a now 23%. ordering new pistons and rings still oem but ctr's and some other minor things to freshen up the bottom end are in the works.
