The HONDA Civic VI 1.5 90hp, engine code D15Z3, is served here by its tri-metal big end bearings, in the ACL RACE and KING RACING ranges.
The choice comes down to size. Standard suits a big end journal still within its original tolerances, the +0.25mm repair oversize takes up a reground crankshaft, and the +0.025mm and +0.026mm sizes recover light wear without regrinding. The standard HX version, with extra running clearance, allows for the expansion of a built engine.
Measure the running clearance before ordering: that figure points to the right size, not the mileage.
The D16Y7 of the Civic VI 1.6 107hp (EK1) gets a full build here, from the bottom end up to the cylinder head.
Forged pistons cover bores from 75 to 76.5mm in the SUPERTECH, WISECO and WÖSSNER ranges, with a 19mm gudgeon pin and compression ratios from 8.5 to 11.9:1. MANLEY forged connecting rods in H profile come with ARP 2000 bolts, and the COMETIC MLS head gasket is offered in 75.50mm bore and five compressed thicknesses.
On the head: SUPERTECH stainless steel or Inconel valves in standard, +0.50mm and +1.00mm, valve guides, springs with steel or titanium retainers, 5.5mm stem seals and collets.
The Civic VI 1.6i 114hp (EK1), engine code D16Y5, brings together head sealing and the crankshaft bearing line.
The COMETIC performance head gasket is an MLS design machined for a 75.50mm bore, offered in five compressed thicknesses: 0.68, 0.76, 0.91, 1.02 and 1.14mm. Thickness is chosen with the target chamber volume in mind, since it shifts both compression ratio and squish height.
ACL RACE and KING RACING tri-metal bearings complete the page across three points: big end, main and thrust washers, in standard size, HX extra clearance and repair undersizes.
The Civic VI 1.5i 114hp (EK3), engine code D15Z6, carries its tri-metal big end bearings here.
Tri-metal combines a steel backing, an intermediate layer and a babbitt with a high copper content. That build takes loads a bi-metal shell will not: it is the default choice as soon as an engine moves beyond its original output.
Two ranges are listed, ACL RACE and KING RACING, in standard size, in the HX extra-clearance version for a built engine, and in the +0.025mm, +0.026mm and +0.25mm repair sizes. Check the running clearance with plastigage before final assembly.
The Civic VI 1.5 16V 114hp (MB9), engine code D15Z8, is served here by its ACL RACE and KING RACING tri-metal big end bearings.
This page deliberately stops at the big end. That is where the combustion load is taken, and where any inspection of the rotating assembly begins: a bearing shell half is always replaced as a pair and is never machined.
Sizes run from standard to the +0.25mm repair oversize, with the intermediate +0.025mm and +0.026mm steps and a standard HX version with extra running clearance for built engines.
The Civic VI 1.6 16V 116hp (MB4), engine code D16B2, finds its complete bearing line here.
Three sets answer one another: the big end bearings take the combustion load, the main bearings carry the main journals, and the thrust washers take up the endfloat that the clutch loads every time the pedal goes down.
All three families exist in the ACL RACE and KING RACING ranges, in standard size, in the HX extra-clearance version and in repair sizes. Never fit a big end size and a main size without having measured both.
The D16Y8 of the Civic VI 1.6 118hp (EJ8) is approached here through its rotating assembly.
WISECO and WÖSSNER forged pistons cover bores from 75 to 76mm on a 19mm gudgeon pin, with compression ratios from 8:1 to 11.9:1: low enough to drop compression for boost, high enough to raise it on a naturally aspirated engine. MANLEY forged connecting rods in H profile, in 4340 steel with ARP 2000 bolts, hold up as the revs climb.
ACL RACE and KING RACING tri-metal bearings close the assembly on the big end, the mains and the thrust washers.
The Civic VI 1.6 120hp (EK1), engine code D16Y4, carries its three sets of tri-metal bearings here.
The whole page comes down to choosing a size. Standard is for a crankshaft still within its original tolerances. The +0.025mm and +0.026mm sizes take up measured wear without a trip to the machine shop. The +0.25mm oversize suits a reground main or big end journal. The standard HX version, with extra running clearance, leaves the room a hot, built engine asks for.
ACL RACE and KING RACING are both available across the three points.
The Civic VI 1.6 VTEC 125hp (EM1), engine code D16Y8, is approached here through its cylinder head.
SUPERTECH valves are listed for both intake and exhaust, in stainless steel for the road and in Inconel for heavy thermal loads, in standard size, +0.50mm and +1.00mm. Valve guides and 5.5mm stem seals go with them, along with collets in kits of 16 or 32.
The uprated springs take either steel or titanium retainers, the latter lightening the valvetrain. A COMETIC MLS gasket in 75.50mm bore completes the rebuild.
The Civic VI 1.7 125hp (EK9), engine code D17A6, brings together two rebuild parts here.
The COMETIC performance head gasket is an MLS design machined for a 76.00mm bore, available in five compressed thicknesses: 0.68, 0.91, 1.02, 1.14 and 1.30mm. A thicker gasket drops the compression ratio, a thinner one raises it: the choice follows the target chamber volume and squish.
ACL RACE and KING RACING tri-metal big end bearings complete the page, in standard size, in the HX extra-clearance version and in repair sizes.
The Civic VI 1.6 VTEC 129hp (EJ8), engine code D16Y8, is approached here through reliability.
ARP head studs replace the original bolts: clamping load becomes repeatable from one strip-down to the next and the gasket face stops moving. Paired with the COMETIC MLS gasket in 75.50mm bore, they hold a raised compression ratio.
Down below, ACL RACE and KING RACING tri-metal bearings cover the big end, the mains and the thrust washers, in standard size, in the HX extra-clearance version and in repair sizes.
The B16A2 of the Civic VI 1.6 VTi 160hp (EK4) is approached here through its fasteners and bottom end.
All three bolted joints of the block are covered in ARP 2000 material: head studs, main studs and con rod bolts. That set decides how a built B16 holds together, before any choice of moving parts.
Forged pistons run from 81 to 86mm bore on a 21mm gudgeon pin, in the WISECO, JE, WÖSSNER, SUPERTECH and MANLEY ranges, and the COMETIC MLS gasket is machined for 82.00mm. ACL RACE and KING RACING bearings are offered with the pMaxKote coating.
