i have a 1977 civic with a NOS engine with close to 10 miles on it now. In the past year I have done a tremendous amount of work to this car and now I have to part my ways with it. I would recommend changing out the front and rear main seals and the O ring on the dizzy as they leak a little ( i should have replaced them before i dropped the engine in but didnt ). car runs and drives but i would not drive it home with the little oil leaks. Also need exhaust work about 12 inches of pipe from the header back needs to be replaced ( its loud ).

can you explain "New Old Stock" to me? Does that mean that it was new from a dealer and they had it for a long time? Where did you get it from? Why are the seals bad if its new?

it was a crate engine some one had not opened since honda assembled it...... sat on a shelf for 35 years in the crate till i bought it from a guy who was going to use it in and airplane kit that he had... so once it sat on the shelf for many years with out use i guess the seals went bad. the engine just leaks a tiny tiny bit of oil would be a hard fix at all.
Clean little car, you need to realize a lot of the kids on here have no clue what NOS is when restoring a car. They relate it to noz or nitrous oxide.
I understood what is was, I just don't have any personal experience with it. I thought it was a brand new engine (which it is) but was confused and questioned myself when he said that the seals were bad. Just wanted some clarification.
