I have had a 02 civic DX 4 door with a shredded timing belt fall into my possession. It has 3 bent intake valves, so I was planning on slapping another head on. The car is a non-vtec motor, however I have found a good deal on a VTEC head for it. The head is from a D17 VTEC, the block is a non-VTEC D17. I don't care about adding the VTEC or anything like that. I just want to make the car run properly with no VTEC as it did before, so I can sell it. Can I swap this VTEC head on, and if so what tricks are needed if any, to make it work?

 

oh come on of all the honda people on this damn site, I know someone knows the god damned answer to this.

 

u can obviously put a vtec head on. never heard of a mini me swap? or ls vtec?lol.n00b

 

No need to be a dipshit. Obviously if he had heard of a miniME swap he wouldnt of asked such a question. Soo your lack of information was just no needed or wanted. And IF you can read he def. stated '02 civic w/ D17 which IS NOT A B SERIES MOTOR doh! so whats the reasoning behind you post?


BTW.

Dave: D17a2 head will work just fine. hope that helps a little bit.

 

Yes, I heard of those, I was messing with them 10 years ago, when you were just starting to learn to read.

10 years later, I see you still haven't finished learning to read.

 

Thanks Pick, I actually did find out the answer back when I originally posted this, picked up a VTEC head for $50, then decided to just fix the valves in the original head since it was in a little better shape.

Car has been shoved in the corner for a while though while I took care of other things (last minute rush to try and get my red car to the shootout), but will probably be getting back to it in the next week or two, need to get it done so I can sell it.

 

good deal dave, let me know if theres anything i can do to help ya with parts or whatever
