Honda D16 SOHC engine interchangability
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:16 pm
Hello all
My trusty old Rover 216 coupe Honda engine (code D16Z2) is really worn out now at 141K. I am looking for a good low mileage replacement unit. My car is not modified and I am not planning to modify it, so I just want to fit something the same as the original unit.
I have seen an engine from an auto transmission car and my question is - whether the engines are exactly the same, or if there are differences between manual and auto units such as engine block and crank differences, camshaft profiles, power output....? Basically, are all D16Z2 engines identical?
And are there any other engine codes that I can consider, or definitely rule out - I don't want to end up with the wrong motor.
Any help - or even a very good low mileage engine - would be greatly appreciated. I live on the Herts/Essex border near Stansted so I would consider about a 100 mile radius for collection.
Thanks!
Matthew
