Dipstick for ZC?

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by David Barnett, Sep 1, 2005.

  1. My 1991 CRX Si has a JDM ZC replacement engine, and I need a new
    dipstick. The loop/handle on mine rusted and broke off. Which Honda
    or Acura dipstick should I get? Or are they all the same? Will the
    regular Civic/CRX part fit, or the '88-'89 Integra (if it's
    different...)?

    To make matters more complicated, it's a '92-'95 series ZC engine. (I
    had to swap out the engine mounts to make it fit, and the distributor
    and injection system to make it work with the 1991 wiring loom).

    Thanks for your help!

    The site below says the JDM ZC was originally installed as follows:

    ZC Honda CRX (JDM) 1990-1993
    ZC Honda CRX Si16/1.6i (JDM) 1989-1992
    ZC Honda CRX Si (JDM) 1985-1987
    ZC Acura Integra (JDM) 1990-1993
    ZC Acura Integra (JDM) 1986-1989
    ZC Honda Civic Si (JDM) 1986-1987
    ZC Honda Civic Si (JDM) 1988-1991

    They're not all 1.6L engines, as you may know. But comparing dipstick part
    numbers at the online parts site below for the engines above that are 1.6 SI
    (and even some, but not all, that are not) indicates they use the same
    dipstick.

    Go to the section labeled "cylinder block-oil pan" for each model above to
    compare dipstick part numbers. So far, I'm seeing the same Majestic part
    number (83302) across the above models that are 1.6L. Is your engine a 1.6
    liter one?

    With shipping/handling, the new OEM dipstick will run you altogether about
    $20.

    with the "Choose Model" option).

    Alternatively, this is a great opportunity to get to know your local
    junkyards.

    Online junkyards may also have a bargain price for these dipsticks, too.

    Ebay has dipsticks for various cars, but they don't appear to be notably
    less expensive than the new one above.

  3. Yeah, it's a 1.6. It's just like the typical ZCs that people have
    been using for 4G Civic swaps, except that it had a 5G wiring loom and
    motor mounts.

    So any 1.6 Civic or Integra dipstick will fit? I KNEW I shoulda
    grabbed the dipstick when I was salvaging parts off the original
    engine...

    Thanks.
