75k on a gsr motor? too much miles??
I want to buy this gsr motor from import auto salvage but the only ones they got for around the price I wannna pay is at 75k. I was wondering at around that milage....what do I need to look out for besides the obvious, belts, water pump. what gaskets would need to be replaced and what else should I look out for and get them to change out for it to run like new.

do a compression check if you can .and you are talking about miles, not KM right?
anyways my motor has 100,000 kms and the compression id 215-220 across the board

it really depends on how well it was taken care of during those 75K. Ussually honda motors are built well enough to last more then 150k, even if they are abused. I know people whose motors are going well past 125k (gsr's) and still running hard.
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about 75K. But then again, if I was buying it, definately get a compression check to see if everything is tip top shape.

as mentioned before, the timing belt, but also, tensioner, clutch with throwout and pilot bearings, fuel filter (on your car), thermostat, cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, and adjust the valve clearance.

Hey man its patrick..travis's friend i have the red civic coupe with the gsr motor. Oh well... I bought my gsr motor with 68,000 on it from vics friend at velocity trends..and the rings were shot when i got it. Get compressiona dn leakdown test and if its alright itshould be fine. But start saving for a build. Eventually it will give way its just a matter of time.
Also. What happened to your d16?

well...the d16 is too slow for me, haha. jk. Nah i wanted to do a manual tranny swap since my tranny is fucked now. So I figured I'd do a swap at the same time and save some money.

I got my GSR motor with around that many miles on it. Motor ran fine for 3 years or so of hard driving. I just had it rebuilt a month ago. Like everyone else said, just check the compression and misc. things to make sure it's in good working condition...

my friend had a 94 hatch with 290k miles on it. it was actually pretty quick for a stock motor, i'm guessing because the carbon upped the cr
