I was wondering if you guys could inform me of the difference between an EW-1, And an EW-2 when it comes to honda engines. I am rebuilding a ew-2, but I can only find parts lists for an ew-1

The year is 1985 and it is a Honda Civic 1500S, 3 door, EW2, 12 valve. If you need to know anything else just let me know.

If I am rebuilding an ew-2 can I use ew-1 parts like valves, gasket sets, bearings, rings and pistons.
I guess what I am asking is the only difference in the fuel system?

I'm inclined to say "no". The intake valves are the same, but the exhaust are different. The Camshaft is different also. Does that mean it won't work? Don't know, inclined to think not.
