how long would you guys say a ex motor last. mile wise that it. no boost or spray. and properly maintained?

 

ive see one with 252,394 i think ul be fine

 

honda motors, if treated right and not abused, can last over 200,000 miles.

 

A stock motor should last you anywhere between 200 and 250k.. It really depends on a lot of factors, so it's hard to give a definite answer.

my EX (d16y8) motor has 168,XXX miles on it and it's running fine, except for a bit of oil burning at higher RPMS.

kicking *** and taking names

 

I have heard someone on here has about 280k on their hatch w/ a dseries motor.

 

Any EX motor will not kick *** and take names. It's meant for reliability and high MPG. There's no high HP/TQ on any honda civic ex motor.

The Chevy trucks I drive at work have over 300k on them, original motors

 

i'm at 140K and all i have is a rear main seal leak, costs so much to fix though.

 

i ment reliability wise, they kick ***

 

at work this guy bought a 97 ex with 90,000. He has had it for a few years and now has 212,000. No problems at all, just general maintenance.

 

i had 201,xxx miles when i swapped my del sol and it ran like a champ. it felt like it would do 200,000 more.

 

a lot of friends cars are seeing 180xxx 190xxx miles and still running strong.. great little engines

 

my d15b7 has 230,000 miles on it. and still runs strong

 

got my car with ~150k miles on it, it was my bros before i got my hands on it, he took good care of it. little over 2.5 years later and a year of hard autox, motor still runs like a champ at 182k miles. tho, maintence is starting to become a little more of a pain, all of which are minor things but still can add up. so long as i keep up with it, i figure it'll see past 200k miles, some of which will be autox/road race miles

 

change the oil, adjust the valves i have seen over 300k. not on my car though.

 

D series seem to last forever. i beat on mine like im running from the cops everyday......still strong and great gas mileage. 93 cx baby 45+ mpg

 

My B16 has 245 7xx original miles on it, and its running pretty damn good seeing it doesn't smoke, even in high RPMs. Given that this engine was meant to rev a bit more, you could likely expect 300K+ from that EX engine. I think the engine would outlive the body of the car.

 

seen them come through honda express where i work with over 400k miles on them, some of them run better than mine
