engine rebuild kits

[paz]

who makes these kits , what prices and is it worth it ? this is for a b16a

[Dave]

u can get oe or a substitute
don't buy substitute if u intend on roughing up the engine unless it's a good brand

[Spyrogyra]

you can import one from Spoon Sports, check this site

www.inlinefour.com

it's a bit pricey but worth it if you want to keep the engine running good, used b16 engines getting rare !

[crazybalhead]

What it does have in a kit??

I have seen some with gaskets, seals etc. But if I am doing a rebuild I would change bearings and rings too.

???

[Spyrogyra]

on inline4.com they have all the parts as different packages, Metal Gaskets, Crankshafts, Piston sets with rings, Valve sets with seals and springs, etc etc etc.

or you can just buy a spoon built head and block, they also have used engines on the site

[Jinx2004Riceboy]

I believe that Gude aka Bullfrog is a company that makes rebuild kits. I think maybe Skunk2 as well.

[worksux101]

what about calling ANP and see if they have or can source any for you?

[ramafingers1]

Hey Paz, check P.T. Motors in San Juan- 675-0223 or 675-3136. friend of mine bought one about 2-3 weeks ago and was nearly 1/2 de price ANP will sell you it for...............................................In any case, dat is where ANP does buy de whole kit from in de first place an split it up an sell people I bought ahh Honda gasketin January by P.T. for $125 and ANP want to sell me de same ting for $750

[worksux101]

are you sure its of the same quality....???
you may be getting something much cheaper but the quuality is nowhere near as good...whereas in anp you can be guaranteed what you buy is of a very good quality!

[paz]

thanks ramafingers ..i go check it ..see what brand it is

[ramafingers1]

AHH TELLIN YUH IZ DE SAME TING DE MAN IN P.T. EVEN TELL ME ANP IS BUY DE PARTS BY DEM. ENT ANP DOES BUY HONDA MODULES BY MASKA FOR UNDER $300 WHOLESALE AN TELL ALYUH AHH SHIPMENT COMING IN JUS NOW AN SELL ALYUH IT FOR $1200 AND $1400

[Jinx2004Riceboy]

Do a "honda cylinder head search" on yer browser. I found tons of stuff on my old D15B. But cylinderheads.com and Gude have the best stuff in my opinion.

[paz]

thanks man

[Placide]

HAHAHA Ramas yuh buss de mark on ANP eh padner?!

[EdVedder]

hmmm

[MadCrix]

called pt and the man say dey eh have NO OE HONDA PARTS.

i said thanks and hung up the phone. parthner them fellars sell u imitation parts dred.

[EdVedder]

so wha u sayin ANP has original honda parts ?

[EdVedder]

ENT ANP DOES BUY HONDA MODULES BY MASKA FOR UNDER $300 WHOLESALE AN TELL ALYUH AHH SHIPMENT COMING IN JUS NOW AN SELL ALYUH IT FOR $1200 AND $1400

wha kinda modules u talkin about ?

[MadCrix]

so wha u sayin ANP has original honda parts ?

yea i bought stuff from them that was original.

[EdVedder]

so the oe parts to the non oe parts really make a difference ?

of it is jus preference ?

[MadCrix]

is a trust issue. the non oe stuff, although some might be good, u cannot trust that the companies r&d department did hey job properly as oppsed to the oe stuff

[paz]

in terms of durability dey are not many parts that last as long as oem ..very few company actually have the resources and level of r&d like the oem manufacturer

[paz]

cheaper alternative is to order the kit from a honda dealership in the US

[powdedd]

what rama saying is truth, i pay $800 for my gasket kit by PT. de same thing by ANP separated costing almost 2G when yuh check it. for bearing, rings etc. go online, ANP wanted to sell me main & rod bearings for aroung $2600, I bought TOPLINE racing bearings for $800. when yuh check the difference in price it cheaper to buy ah plane ticket, get yuh parts and bring it down yuh self.

[EdVedder]

^^good info meh boy

but business ppl pay a big thing called taxes...an these taxes r not imposed by the customs as lots of ppl think....they came from the govt, customs jus there to make sure everyting is done right

when u bring it in via suitcase it will most definetly be cheaper

but i agree with u dat some ppl prices an too much over priced (im not thinkin of anybody in particular..jus speakin generally)

[SR]

ramafingers1 be carefull you are just speculating in your statements
so you want to get into the difference between costs in honda parts
lets give an example
brand name aftermarket say an energy suspension bushing costs $500
oem replacment ie genuine honda costs $800
and no name aftermarket made in india costs $350
the options are yours to buy what you want
any legitamate buisness as gorgan says pays taxes on all parts imported granted that some of the tax laws are extremely outdated but bottom line is that they have to be payed.
so if you can source your parts in the states and simply multiply by 6 even thought the exchange rate is 6.3 and then bring it in without paying taxes why bother to even comment on this topic go and buy your parts and bring it in yourself
ANP is a buisness and with any buisness a profit has to be made otherwise it doesnt make sense
If ANP has been robbing people due to the markup of parts being made too high then how come they have been in operation for more than 30 years.........

What i can never understand is people with the lil 1 car complainin about prices for oem parts to maintain it if u cant afford to maintain your honda then sell it and buy somthing that you can afford to maintian instead of trying to derfame a buisness because you think the price was too high
How come no comment was made about prices at HONDA in trinidad......did you not go to them for your parts??? from what i have seen here the answer will be no
WHY NOT???

Constructive criticism is always welcome
but destructive comments will not be tolerated
if you think maska and pt are the suppliers of honda parts then go to them for your parts and stop complaining like a lil cry baby over someone elses prices on genuine honda parts
feel free to reply on this forum

[dragaholic]

I bought a water pump for my teg from a co. im Miami and de pump lasted 3 months. I went to ANP and got another pump for less and it outlasted the motor itself.

I have never had ne problems wit there quality and there prices are not really above board. And 99% of the time you can get what yuh lookin for in ah hurry.

so big up ANP.

[paz]

first to begin anp parts are cheaper than classic dat much obvious ..they may be expensive but at the same time not everyone can or are willing to pay even these prices ..thus an alternative is what we are looking for ..some things i will buy i anp because it is convenient and i trust anp with my car and others ..well i will bring it in my self or find another alternative ..they has been instances where anp has given me better prices on oem parts than other people who suppose to be cheaper ..

[powdedd]

i agree with all de follow up on this topis . we all have options , if one place too expensive then try another, any time yuh complaining or have no options then yuh can't afford what yuh have. thats all! plain and simple
