OEM Refresh: 26-Year Untouched B16A Vtec Engine Gets Restored // 2000 Honda Civic Si EM1  @ahcgarage

In this episode, we dive into a full service on our unexpected pickup β€” a 2000 Honda Civic Si (EM1). To ensure a solid foundation for the build, we start with a complete timing belt service, including a new water pump, drive belts, and fresh oil seals.

From there, we handle a full tune-up along with replacing the valve cover gasket and other essential seals to eliminate any potential leaks.

Next, we upgrade the drivetrain by installing a full set of Mugen engine mounts, improving both response and overall driving feel.

To wrap it all up, we refresh every critical fluid on the car β€” including engine oil and filter, manual transmission fluid, brake and clutch fluid, and engine coolant, bringing this Civic Si back to proper operating condition.

This is just the beginning of the build, stay tuned for what’s next.
