D series is a fantastic example of an engine that is simple, easy to work on, reliable, durable, easy to find parts for (thats going downhill nowadays) and torque-ier at lower RPMS vs B's which helps the use case. I have built many over the last 20 yrs, i blown about 6 of them from different stupid reasons, power levels, errors etc, but always came back to them, and STILL love them. Few times, it was cheaper to get a set of Eagle rods and CP pistons and rebuilt the engine and get back on road, rather than sell the parts. These things are stout and i would totally work on them again anyday. I miss it.

Can confirm. My first car was a CRX with this head swap already done. Burnt mad oil. Overheated once on the freeway, head gasket blew two days later. The car was extremely reliable otherwise. I replaced the head gasket on a high school budget and still drove the car from phoenix to Florida. The car ran until it was totalled.

Hmm this feels like a wrap-up on the D series... Considering the B is just as old, K makes more sense even though I understand wanting to gradually step up in power. Incidentally on my D16Y8 changing my PCV valve solved my oil consumption. I have a K24A8 in my Element, so I'm hoping its K time!

Not true. Just get the work done if you can. If it’s cheaper you can swap, but that engine should be fine with a new head gasket. Use something good though. Fel-Pro and oem Honda are my suggestions. I just did this on a b18b1 that overheated constantly. I didn’t do any resurfacing though. Just took the weekend to do a new head gasket and it’s been fine since. Even went to a track day the weekend after and it’s still fine. Most people don’t work on their own cars and just go off hearsay. And lots of it is untrue.

Just had to build my own VTEC-controller, but it worked like a charm. Got a P28 ECU after a year or so and it improved both power and gas mileage a bit, so I'd recommend doing that from the get-go. And building that controller was a goddamn engineering project in and of itself. Not recommended.
