To conduct compression test, engine has to be installed in the car first. My car is parked in a workshop and I am going to mithu khan saddar to buy assembly. Somebody told me that you have to look for an engine which must have golden colour seals. Is that true??
open the top cover of the engine and see the colour....the more it's golden more it's being used.no it is not necessary for compression test.In our markets shopkeepers usually washed the cams so judging by colour is difficult and for compression they install new rings. Mostly engines available in market have ring installed. So it's always better to get engine out of a half-cut. But now half-cut's are also ban. It will be further divided in to 2 pieces.
So there is no way to identify a good engine and it all depends how lucky you are to get a good engine.
If rings work is done already thenCompression will be really high in the cylinders and normally with oem standards a engine compression difference between each cylinder is 5% to 10 % but the consistency of the cylinders with new rings will be unequal aik cylinder will be high another qould be low and very high differences in cylinder. Or if they bored or honed the cylinder the compression will varyCopied
Finally, I have bought D16Y4 non vtec for my civic 96 exi. I hope it will serve as a good machine. Inshallah

@gallop_25 Why you didn't went for d17 non v-tecWaiting for next picsDon't compromise on wiring
Congrats and good choice.
D16y4 gives better mileage then d17. And also have strong internals.
Ok
I didn't get complete engine. I only bought engine assembly which was actually required. Mechanic is still busy in installing it. I also decided to change clutch plate and pressure plate which has come to PKR 8500/-. I will soon share the pictures here inshallah. I am really thankful to all of you for your brotherly advises. Indeed it helped me a lot.
Welcome brotherFrom where you are installing all this
Did you change the distributor? D16y4 distributor is different then d15.
No, but it is working perfectly.
There must be a plate installed because bolts pattern are different.
Alhamdulliah, my beauty is now on road, what a smooth and powerful engine it is.. Mashallah. I took a test ride, full throttle full RPM.
