Hello and good evening,
So glad I found this forum. I am a car guy from Idaho, own and built a 67 Chevelle. I recently purchased a 1983 Honda Accord HB (EK1 stamped as serial number on block- SOHC 12-valve (CVCC) engine, displacing 1.8 L (1,751 cc). Output varied (see below) as the engine itself was refined. This was the last CVCC configuration engine manufactured by Honda, per wiki), 5SP manual transmission,(GK, if that means anything to anybody). The car does not have the original motor, block serial doesn't match tag riveted to the car, although it is still stamped EK block. I knew at the start that I would be tearing this motor down to bare bones. Engine block is torn down with crank not removed (will not be removing). I am at a point now where I need to order gasket sets. Ordered a Fel-Pro HS8970PT head gasket kit from Rock-Auto but head gasket didn't fit nor was the exhaust gasket remotely close to being correct. Anybody have a PN for a good set of engine gaskets? Since I have it torn down might as well do everything. Rock-Auto shows PN APEX AFS1001. The exhaust gasket show in the pic (if you Google it) looks nothing like the one I took off, the one I took off looks more like the Apex PN AMS1010 (this is a Civic PN) I am guessing it is possible to put Civic Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I also plan on deleting all of the vacuum lines and do a Weber swap, any advise on that would be fantastic as well.
