    1983 Accord LX Hatchback?? Rebuilding motor

    Good afternoon,

    Thanks for the acceptance into your great wealth of knowledge. Located in North Idaho and just bought a 1983 Accord LX HB with a Frankenstein motor. Block is an EK1 (3631908) 1.8L (not the original block, serial number shown on tag not the same serial# stamped into the block), transmission is a GK coded 5 speed (doubt it is original), and the head is an unknown (wish I knew if serial numbers were stamped for reference, there is PB2-4 shown??). I am in the process of rebuilding from the ground up but am having issues finding a correct head gasket and intake/exhaust gasket. I just ordered a kit from RockAuto for motor gasket set, hopefully head gasket fits (APEX AFS1006), clutch kit (MU476151). If anyone has better info on head gaskets, please chime in.
    I will also be removing vacuum lines and carb, swapping to a Weber eventually. I have seen numerous threads covering that one here but if anybody has any Gotchas they may want to share, please do.
