I’ve got a 93 DB2 with the stock b17 with ~230k, and my wife’s car a db8 with the stock b18c (now being replaced with a k24 crv manual!). The insurance company is totalling the db8 due to major hail damage. It was consuming oil and had some other quirks at 150k anyway, so for what they are offering and the high buy-back price we’re going to give it to them now that we found the CRV she wants.
My question is- are there any parts I should consider swapping of the b18c onto the b17 that would be compatible and either better, or maybe just in newer/better condition before it goes to the junker? I’m currently thinking of swapping valve covers since mine was half polished and the 97 is in better shape.
Is the distributor compatible? Anything else I should consider?
I’m not considering a full swap or anything crazy like that, and the db8 needs to still run when we surrender it.
