Actually, there's usually one or two Honda's in the local yards but they are usually just shells by the time anyone can get to them. Besides, there's the issue of finding a like-kind D16Y5 and of course the likelihood that the salvaged car's engine was no good as well...

I'm leaning more towards the rebuild with my machine shop doing the clean up, pistons, bearings and crank- maybe freshen up the head while I'm at it. (I've been hunting around and can get a crank and a complete rebuild kit for about $500 total.)- So, then it's just the matter of the machine work and minimal labor. I can do the rest.

Still not sure if it's the best idea or not.

Any other thoughts? Even ideas on the potential rebuild are appreciated.
