[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 2597057, member: 27518"] yup when you hit 100K there's a lot of preventive maintainance. For me, since I just hit that number. a) new timing belt b) water pump c) radiator flush (supposed to be yearly, but I'm lazy, go me!) d) new plugs (if you haven't changed them already) e) new filter element. After going just a little over 100K, my valves leaked, but I sorta expected it too, since I'm already over 200K plus the original halfcut mileage, So I'm overhauling it totally, a) Wash all internal parts and lube b) new crank bearings c) new piston rings d) valve grind e) new gasket Now I expect the distributor to die sometime soon, but it pays for honda owners to alway carry a spare distributor and know how to put them on and do a quick and dirty way of retiming it. (obviously quick and dirty means you don't drive the shit out of it until you get it timed properly with a timing light.) Obviously the price of labour and workmanship will seem expensive, and it is, but I'm keeping the car, so obviously I change new so it runs trouble free for the next 5-10 years :P If you're planning to change car soon, then go and buy a used engine.. it should last for the next few years, unless you bought a used engine that's already problematic. After getting used to the particular traits and habit of the honda engine to the point I can fix most of the problems myself in a pinch with the proper tools, I'm not going to change cars and learn everything all over again. I don't really trust car dealership mechanics to touch my car (if I had bought a new car). Some people do, but I don't. but really, which other new 'normally aspirated' car makes 170+hp with 1.6L? or 180+hp with 1.8L, and over 200hp with a 2L? Other than the DC5/FD-2.. I don't think there's any NA cars that can do that, and last for years. [/QUOTE]
