Default Re: 1990 honda civic dx coolant leak/possible engine replacements?

Where is your coolant leak coming from? rad? hoses? waterpump?

If your looking to replace your engine check into sohc or dohc JDM ZC
engines. I know the sohc version are fairly cheap, it will be a bolt in
, but there's some wiring issues to convert over to MPFI (easy).

The sohc ZC is rated for 128hp and the dohc has 132hp ish. Just
remember your D15 just has 96hp.
