When we finished up my JDM B20b swap into my 99 Honda Civic. My buddy said that the b20 dip stick wasnt going to read right. He said when he had a b20b swapped into his car that they had to cut and weld it to make it read correctly?

My question is, can I use and B series dip stick for my car? Aswell as the tube that holds it?

 

yes you can use the dip stick and tube for that motor.

 

I don't have the b20b one anymore. Could I use one for like an b18b?

 

are the specs really that different for the b series dipsticks? i would think that you could use any.

 

Thats what I thought, but he said its different. I just want to make sure, so that I'm getting an correct reading.

 

compare the 2 dipsticks side by side?

if they are the same legnth/marks are the same.


then you can use a coat hanger if u want.

 

I would have tried that, but as previously stated I don't have the stock b20b dipstick anymore. This is why I'm asking if any B-series dip stick will work.

I'm fairly sure that any would work, I really wouldnt see why there would be any difference. I just wanted to make sure for sure.

 

Pull the tube from your b18 motor.

The tube and the actual stick.

Insert new tube with a bit of honda bond on it and tap it in with a rubber mallet.

 

Care to give me a part # for that "honda bond"?
