I just hit 200k miles in my 92 hatch today what should i do
i dont have the money for the b16 swap i was planing on having done before i actullay hit 200k what should i do its gonna be atlest 4 months before i can even buy the new motor!?!

 

but it still runs........

 

keep it goin till it dies keep saving

 

well as long as you keep it up to date like timing belt and headgasket water pump but 200k not that bad as long as you don't beat on it

 

oh i never beat on it i dont drive fast i try to keep it in ecomomy mode never take it past 3k rpms the tbelt is new idk about the water pump forgot to ask the previous owner when i bought it idk about the headgasket either but plugs and oil are up to date tranny fluid needs to been done how hard would it be to do the head gasket with a haynes?

 

bump

 

Wow, lay off the meth, dude. Just keep driving until you have enough for an engine. Cars don't automatically expire at 200k, lol.

Hahaha x2. I first read the post and was like wtf? you continue to drive it like everyones been telling you to and just keep up on regular maintaince like you have been?

 

lay off the meth lmfao!!!! go get some sleep, and we'll talk about it tommorow, just playin' man yeah as long as nothin' is acting up you'll be fine.

 

i was just bumping about the headgasket question ,
and anything else you guys might check out once you car gets up there in the miles id like to know so i can check it out if i havent already

the only thing that seems to be wrong with the car is the bouncing idle and it dosent get 40+ mpgs like other d15z1s but other than that i think shes doing alright

 

Bouncing idle sounds like a sensor or vacuum leak. Nothing serious. As for mileage, not every Civic can get 40mpg; that's in fact rare and takes careful driving. Just be happy with it.

 

yea i understand that
i just want to know how hard it would be to do the head gasket with a haynes
about the hardest thing ive done is replacing the tbelt and water pump on my 01 coupe

Agreed! Spend your money on wiser things like education or investments/savings.

He? You asked the question. You said in your original psst that you don't have the money to buy a new motor for 4 months. Am I missing something here?

 

i was talking about the quote you made from batallic
but yes your right i wont have the money for at least 4 months i just dont want anything to happen between now and then

I see, well just maintain the engine and hope for the best. It has lasted you 200k so far right?

Amazingly enough, you aren't the first to ask that! Try a search.

 

changing a head gasket would require a little bit of knowledge about the motor but if you are good with directions then a haynes/chilton manual will do you fine.

 

If the headgasket isnt blown then dont change it you will just be throwing more money in a motor youre not going to keep anyway and 200K is no big deal for any honda
