Rep Power: 0 Blew my engine - need some help
I've got a 2001/51 'new model' Civic Coupe - unfortunately I blew my D17A1 engine
I ordered a second hand engine and it was a D17A9 - it's gone back but I ordered from another place and they said they had a D17A1 - when it arrived it looked identical to the D17A9 and has possibly had the engine number filed down and restamped as D17A1
Old engine:
Has steel sump
D17A1
New engine:
Looks almost identical except has aluminium sump
Has some kind of oil release valve on the engine top
claims to be a D17A1 but looks like the D17A9
So:
Will it be ok to put the D17A9 looking engine into the car?
What should the oil valve connect to - can it be disabled?
Any help is much appreciated - sorry if this is the wrong forum area.

its my understanding that the a9 is a vtec engine. if thats the case, it cannot be used with the a1 ecu, 1 set of valves will not open. u need to post a few pics of it, specificallly the back of the head, to see if it has a vtec solenoid, if it does, u cannot use it
