Need help finding Honda CRX Pistons

14 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 found my Honda repair shop at the honda web site. The site lists dealers and certified repair shops. Eventhough I had a dealer in town, I had to drive 50 miles to a certified repair shop. So far, I have been satisfied. Hope this helps.

Let me start off by saying I learned a lot about lawn mower carburetors from this post. Thank you all. In the end, I may have been able to clean mine, but ended up buying a brand new carburetor for ONLY $19!!!! I emptied the old gas and cleaned the gas tank. I also got a set of new gaskets, and now the mower runs just fine. I don't have a tachometer to check the speed, but it sounds similar to the old carb. Its really tough getting to the adjustment screw behind the air filter and another hose that sites in front of it. Thanks again for all the info.

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.

I don't believe the roller model was ever sold or at least not in volume here in the states. The model number is not a typical sequence for U.S. models. Not to say some didn't make it across the pond but pretty certain this was a European model. Non U.S. models are not shown in parts or service manual materials over here. There are some Aussie members here who may have seen them but I doubt any U.S. members have.

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.
