well, the ek hatch i just bought seems to be developing a slight knock. rather than fuck with it, i’d rather just but a fresher d series in it. its a 96 hatch, so i highly prefer a d16y7 or d16y8. i want one that doesnt burn oil, and doesnt make weird noises. i’ll take a d15 if its nice, and cheap… i’ll just have to put an obd2 oil pump on it so i can keep it legal. basically, if you have a clean sohc in your possession, offer it to me. i’d prefer a longblock, but all i really NEED is a bottom end, so dont be afraid to offer me a shortblock, its just gotta be complete and assembled. let me know what you have, im ready to buy. ---
