it will last until you start seeing black smoke. lol. There is no real telling how long it will last, you have to think about all the factors (upkeep in changing oil, tune-ups, radiator flushes...etc). So the answer is.... no-one can tell you. My advice is just keep the maintenance up, don't bounce off rev-limit, if you have one, which you should, and give it hell.

it'll last for quite some time, that's not really beating on it at all for a civic, I shift at 4600 or so (I usually shift right b4 the vtec) and at least once a day (usually) I put it to 7500 PRM's, drive it like u do (and btw that's not a setup, that's called "a waste of $" on a D16Z6), and it'll last a really long time
