Need help finding Honda CRX Pistons

17 years ago

Hi All, I've been searching for pistons (not rings) for a 91 Honda CRX HF

D15B6

I need 4 pistons 0.20 or larger. I seem to be having no luck searching the web so either these are really rare or I'm just not doing the right search... I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!

You can get them at any dealer starting at 25 over or any
engine rebuilder.

Hi Kalining, checked with the dealer yesterday and they do not have these. They were able to locate 1 piston (it was in CA I believe). We need 4.

I completed the install of the cable I used both hands my foot and 20 srewdrivers. What was Honda thinking. I would love to get my hands on some of those designers and force them to replace the Drive clutch cable. I used OEM Honda cables hope these will last as long as the orginals by then the mower will be 40 years old

i removed about 2 oz of oil to make sure it wasn't that stupid. dad didn't seem concerned about that saying it was an insignificant amount. difficult to get an accurate read on the oil level due to the stupid plastic dipstick design but it seems at the correct level. i probably should stick a screwdriver in it to get an accurate read, but like i said, it isn't over-filled oil. i know the symptoms of too much oil -- heavy black smoke and very erratic performance. this is a slight black smoke, excessive fuel consumption (rich burn, burning fuel 4 times faster than it should), slight erratic performance, and degraded rpm. new spark plug was installed and gapped to 0.76mm (factory gap was actually correct). removal of air filter was tested. it is a new air filter replaced 2-3 weeks ago and frequently dusted -- i also typically use a very porous 2ndary filter (similiar to the filling of a comforter) as well to keep larger stuff off the air filter. it isn't those things. i've used new gas from two different sources. i've thoroughly cleaned and checked the carb (needle valve was perfectly clean like brand new and functioning correctly with the floater, the bulb was perfectly clean like brand new except of course with clean gas in it), everything looks good, and really, there isn't much that could go wrong with the carb with everyday use, unless i was burning sand and sludge. i also examined and cleaned the breather and it looked in good condition. the breather was clean except for the expected oil and functioning perfectly. i'm really just asking for advice on what to expect for tearing down the engine, if there is anything special that i need to know. my dad thinks it ran hot with the choke getting stuck and not releasing fully. it is likely internal to the engine. hopefully, it is just a worn belt considering 500 hours (5-10 years of residential use) is about the life of a residential mower engine, but i may have to replace rings and hone the cylinders if it was because of the automatic choke release being used and not releasing even though the lever was fully released due to dirt build-up around the linkage for it. everything else was just fyi to give my review and experience with the craftsman mower and honda engine.

Honda FG100 tiller w/ dirty GX31 engine & oil
Q
Comments (15)
I don't know about the rest of the tiller, but I do know something about the GX31. The Honda small engines can run at all position BUT it can't sit on the side or up side down!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!. It has a oil chamber to whip the oil into mist so you can run in all position. But when the engine stop, oil is going to go to the lowest level due to gravity. If the engine sit side way or up side down, oil will sip through the rings and go into the combussion chamber. If you leave it sit long enough, the engine not only hard to start, also it will smoke for a while. But it will clear up. That is the reason the foam filter soak with oil. So do not just tear the engine up until you run more test. You might want to clean the carb. I just did one on my GX31 and is not that hard. But If you can start the engine, I don't think you even need to do that. Just wash the foam filter with soap and water, put oil and put it back. Change the gas filter and check the plug. You check the oil but putting the engine with cylinder upwards, on flat level. Remove the drain plug and make sure the oil just not overflow. Start and let it run for a little while, the smoke should clear up. Then you can continue testing whether it has power. I am not saying the engine has no problem, just say the smoking is normal if the engine sit in wrong position.

The most likely cause of a brake lamp warning lamp being on of course is that one or more of the bulbs are in fact burned out, or not working because of some kind of a bad connection. BTW, it cannot be a "short", because a shorted circuit means it has lower than the correct total resistance, and that causes too much current to flow which results in a blown fuse. In short, shorts blow fuses. (Pun partially intended, :) VBG) Other likely causes are an incorrect bulb, such as an 1156 (single terminal and filament) where an 1157 (dual terminals and filaments for both parking lamps and turn/stop in the same bulb) should be. It can even be because an 1157, which flows "X" amps might be installed where a 2057 should be. A 2057 in all ways appears to be identical to an 1157, but put a current probe on the circuit, and you will see they each draw a different amount of current, this is normally represented as the wattage of the lamp. This can be critical for cars that have illumination sensing devices. There is at least one other bulb that looks identical to the 1157, and the 2057, but once again the difference is the current load it has on the circuit (wattage), and it is exclusively for a particular feedback system. It is always necessary to look up what bulb is called for in a particular car. 194's and 168's are both a peanut size, with identical socket conections. But they are different wattage bulbs, which means once again that they draw different amounts of current. A 168 is normally an instrument cluster bulb, and a 194 is predominantly a side marker. If you put a 194 where a 168 should be, it will overheat it's socket and any surrounding plastics. Put a 168 where a 194 should be and it will be slightly dimmer than that lamp was originally designed to be. Lastly there is always the chance that there is an instument cluster problem, or a problem with the lamp module. You would be best advised to seek out a technician familliar with this system to have it diagnosed correctly.

I checked our dealer and they can get them. They are a back order from the U.S. I can get all i want at 25 over. My machine shop can also get any pistons i want at any quantity in any size. I'm in canada so i'd phone around because the pistons you want come from the U.S. and they are readily avalable. Maybe you phoned the wrong dealer ?
What about your machine shops ? I can order them for you and send them out when they get here. About one month. That
is from the Honda dealer. Your missing something.

Kalining, the pistons you found are for the D15B6? 8 valve engine? There were only a certain number of these cars made and according to our dealer, there are no replacement pistons except the 1. They checked the national Honda warehouse in CA. Supposedly this list checks the entire list of Honda dealerships in the US. It's imperative that these fit the D15B6. Can you please e-mail me with the phone# of the dealer where you located these. wildflower444444@yahoo.com
Thank you!!!

Here is the thing. A dealer will have O.E.M. only. I'm very suprized our dealer found your pistons. Yes these are for the D15B6. Your best bet is to contact your engine rebuilders for after market pistons. You could call
1-800-4878341. Ask for Allan. It's Harvest Honda. Steinbach
Manitoba. They can get you a set but Honda only makes 25 over. They have to order them from the U.S. so i'd ask your dealer if they know what they'er doing or ask them to
put you in touch with a dealer that knows what they'er doing because to get the pistons you want i order them from your dealers. Something wrong here. No offence but every time i look at this site it seems no U.S. dealer has a clue what the hell is going on with any car they sell. They can't even fix it. Just my opinion. Good luck.

Kalining, just jumping back in here to say you were right, lol! We checked with a different dealer and they say they're on backorder but they can get them. Glad I asked here because with not being able to locate them on the net and trusting what our local dealer said, we were about to give up on the car.

Thanks wildflower for the feed back. The thing is DO YOUR
RESEARCH. I usually phone every dealer and parts company in the book. Someone some where has to have what i want or know someone that has it. Glad to help. Hope everything goes as planned. ( yah right, as if it gets that easy ).
Good luck.
