I wasn't aware of Honda doing it on their 1300. News to me.

And Johnny has a point: do 'em both!

EDIT: I actually owned an 85 or 86 Civic hatch, probably with the 1300 (the 1500 was the "S", right? I know mine wasn't the "S".) I'm embarrassed I don't remember the details of that car, but I only owned it a couple of months before the head gasket went and I cracked the head. Had it repaired and sold it after that. Other than my Suzukiclones, it was the only other car I had that got fantastic fuel economy. I really liked it before I blew it up.
The Civic DX Hatchback had the 1.5l along with the slightly sportier 1500S. At least in the US. And I'm not sure if the 1.3l in Canada had the single ring, there were quite a few differences between the US and Canada versions. I had an '84 Civic Wagon until rust took it away from me.

Next rebuild is a Swift GTi engine for my other '94 Metro. I have plenty of engines I can rebuild, but only two good Metro bodies.
