1987 Accord DX carbureted with A20A engine and manual transmission.
I have seen posts about putting different heads on that block, but in my case...
A misfire led to replacement of the stock carburetor with a Weber 32/36.
Installation of the carburetor led to discovery of a head gasket leak.
Removal of the head led to grinding the valves, planing the head, and new valve guide seals.
Reinstallation of the head and new head gasket let to discovery that my block is cracked.
So here I am. I have a brand new top end and no block to put it on. I can source an A20 block at any local junkyard, and that's what I will do unless there is a good reason to use a different block.
What do you say?
Thank you!
