Scratch the SOHC to DOHC. I'm just in the process now to switch my lease to financing a manual 02 civic or possibly a manual RSX. Gotta deal with that bullcrap b4 nething else.

reading this thread in it's entirety has done two things:

lowered my iq by 6 points & reminded me of why i left my engine stock.

Chrissy, if you really want those spares, you can get a fully assembled cylinder head from honda for 1400$ or for 800 you could grab one off ebay... but then... why spend a grand on d17 spares when 3 grand gets u a k20?

You can probably get an entire D17 motor off of Ebay for $800. You might also want to try looking in local junkyards. Robthe54, where did you find a K20 for 3 grand? I haven't really tried pricing them in a while. I just assumed $5000 and said forget it.
