[@renj6531]

I have another car now but when In the process of replacing my R18 s cracked oil pan i saw web cracking at the bottom end of the combustion chamber around the piston. Idk if this is where the engines crack, but either way it wasnt good.

Also don't forget some engines specifically the 1.8 have problem with the power steering seal.

Awesome work brother, I just bought a motor 50,000km out of a 2010. Someone’s grandma got hit in the passenger rear. My motor has a worn out connecting Rod Baren smh 280,000km

[@k3nto240]

Awesome Job Cody! I am gonna JB weld my crack for now until I figure out what I am going to do for the long term. Hopefully it will hold during the winter months. Been running water in the radiator for a few months now.

[@codycarlson9441]

I also temporarily used JB weld and it held up strong

just got my replacement engine yesterday, jdm import with 60k miles for 800$, came with all oem accessories and sensors except for ac compressor

[@scottnbecky1]

You did a good job on this video. Thanks for your help

[@joshadofo7819]

Great video bro 😊I love this

[@IWonByDefaultTV]

Do you think this is close enough to a 2013 Honda civic that I could follow along and it still be applicable?

[@codycarlson9441]

Definitely!

[@nikolaarutyunov1808]

well done buddy,next time you can use a jack a lower the engine first to unbolt the crankshaft just do not remove driver side mount and lower a motor a litle bit so you have acces,because sometimes even realy strong impacts do not work,i tryed on same civic 2007 last time !050 psi from harbor frights it did not work,so i had to use a hoge bar with 3/4 drive and it come out

[@codycarlson9441]

Yeah those crank bolts are tough to break. Impact only worked for my situation cause I have removed it in the past already

[@frias2287]

Nice one bro

[@Omarvro1]

Did you use the original wiring harness and swap it over to the jdm engine?

[@codycarlson9441]

Yes

Looking for info on a Honda 1.8L R18A/R18Z Engine conn rod & main bearing code. Anyone have idea where it would be stamped on the block or maybe on main bearing bridle? I have a 07 Civic DX & am dropping in a 2010 1.8L due the OEM Manufacturing problem of Poor Casting Issues on the 2006-08 & early 2009"s Civics with 1.8L in them, which leads to leaking Coolant. I wanting to do a bearing roll-in before I drop in the 2010 1.8L engine into my car.

[@evedits3174]

Mine cracked at 200k miles and been driving for about a year with crack i added k seal fixed mine for a bit but now my radiator hose is collapsed i wanna replace engine but afraid of warrenty on engine whats the best place to buy a jdm engine online

[@codycarlson9441]

I’m not sure. I would recommend buying locally if you can. But there are a lot of online dealers on eBay if that helps at all

[@josexivir4260]

Hi Do you know if the jdm engine does not have the same issue with the coolant leak on the block?

[@codycarlson9441]

JDM engines didn’t have defects in the casting process. Also all have 60k miles or less for most part

[@dademurphy3062]

Did you have issues with your throwout bearing being to short? Normally the jdm engines are auto and need a larger bearing?

[@codycarlson9441]

Mines auto so I wouldn’t know on that one. I would imagine the flywheel pressure plate would bolt right on tho

Can I put a 2011 R18 motor in a 06 Honda??

Hey guys ,a noob question... can i swap my 2009 1.8l(8th gen) civic for a 2013 1.8L(9th gen)?I can get a 2013 civic engine 7k milles for free but idnt know if it fit.Thx for you help

[@BACONNWRAPPED]

How the motor crack? Where? Anything u could do to prevent it?

[@codycarlson9441]

At the casting lines in the back. Most crack in the front. It was a manufacturing defect

[@BACONNWRAPPED]

@@codycarlson9441 i bought a used 07 and it has 240k miles on it.. im wondering if that defect has already been taken care of by now or im living on borrowed time...

[@elmoneyyy]

​@@BACONNWRAPPED Idk why he didn't reply because that's a great question. But at 200k plus miles I'm sure that engine is fine. Barely breaking in for the R18.
