So I Bought A Honda. Now Can Someone Help Me?

[Pento240sx]

Well I bought my first Honda, is a 1980 Honda Accord 1.8. All that had to fix was the timing belt and boy was I wrong. So I fix the timing belt thinking that, that would fix my problem, but I found out that those engines are Interference Engines, that one's the timing belt goes, the valves go too. So I decided to fix the valves, head gasket and anything that may be wrong with it, but the problem is that, I been looking crazy trying to find out on how to rebuild the engine on this car and so far no luck. So I was wondering if anybody knew I place where I could find info on rebuilding these engines. I would really appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a KA24 rebuild guide.

I'm sure that doing the piston and installing the bearings and what not are very similar.
For the rest of it, I guess you could look at the Honda service manual?

Swap heads. It's a Honda. You can swap heads to another OEM head set from a different engine and make moar power. Hondas are like legos, man. You just put stuff together and it magically works.

Prank FAIL dude it is April 6th not 1st


Almost got me with the "so I bought a Honda Now can Someone Help Me?" subject line.

The rest of you are gonna feel pretty sad when OP types/yells APRIL FOOLS in after a page or 2!

[Pento240sx]

Stupid. No april fools, this is serious. I just want some info I will post some pics of the car later on. I just need some help fixing this car, so I could have a DD while modifying my S14.

[Amays U G37S]

Is it carbed or fuel injected?

So you have 2 projects now?

[Pento240sx]

Is carburator. Well my S14 is my DD right now, but I want to fix the Honda so I could start working on the s14.

[Ace2cool]

Oh, wow. So it's old as tits?

I vote B18 swap. Or K20.

Expect to spend a decent bit of money. Post pics. How is the physical condition?

[flohtingPoint]

31 year old car is a horrible idea for a DD. If you want to keep the Honda, DD the 240.

Yea I know. Well is in good condition (body is straight), just one surface rust spot, paint is a little bit faded and interior is in good condition (Good but crackly seats and no saggy headliner) and dash is actually in pretty good condition.

The thing is that is a automatic and to put another newer engine, I will have to do a A LOT of wiring (According to my friend) and that I don't want to do.

[Dattebayo]

You guys ask if it's carbed and it's a 1980 Honda.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Oooooh! Does it have the goofy three-speed semi-auto?

Do you mean the Hondamatic? If yes, than no it does not have that one.
