What do I do for preventative maintenance?

Already changed timing belt, spark plugs, oil. What else should be done?

 

gas.

 

I heard that helps.

 

defenitely do a trans service, check and replace if necessary any gaskets, your head gasket might give you problems too if you havent replaced it already, basically just check and see if anything is broken or starting to break. my EF motor blew at 100k so i swapped in another one. im at 183k miles now and havent had any problems in a few years exept for axles/struts/tires, etc. *knocks on wood* happy tuning in the yay.

 

sell it quickly, it won't last much longer dude......

 

Check the owners manual for what needs to be done at 100k.

wtf, 100k miles is nothing. it will last another 100k easily if you treat it right.

 

yeah no crap, honda engines are known for that... a well maintained engine i have heard going over 500k! thats nuts, but im sure driving hard reduces that greatly but still.. i have 124k on mine, runs like a dream

 

how about distributor cap and rotor, plug wires, coolant, trans fluid, brake and clutch fluid? and did you replace the water pump and timing belt tensioner bearing when you changed your timing belt?

 

ditto.

I have 61k on my original engine and it runs like ****. Old lady driven until 50k And I put on the last 11k miles.. Wasn't even that hard on it. I think I got a lemon

 

yeah, those do exist, sorry to hear that though, what does it do to make it run like crap?

 

I've got 178,000 miles on mine and it's still running strong the 2nd owner the first guy put 160,000 hard nasty DIRTY miles on it and i've replace timing belt Water pump and a tranny but everything else major is orginal.

my motors has around 250-275 on it, so..........what ya think now?

I'd also change the cap/rotor, water pump, timing belt tensioner.

...and check your valve cover gasket and VTEC solenoid gasket (if applies to you).

 

Swap it, hehe
I bought a 97 DX coupe with 130k on it, runs like a charm. I just replaced the clutch, axles, and torque mounts.

 

nothing...honda motors last forever. i had a civic dx motor with over 100,000 miles that i wnted to swap out so i beat the **** out of it so it would blow. it never did. i swapped it out anyway.

drive it till the wheels fall off

 

oh, one more thing, don't forget to change the engine (engine swap!)-

doubt it.. get all the stupid stuff checked and keep drivin it hard

 

I bought my car w/ 204k miles on it. Once I got it home we replaced the water pump, timing belt, and head gasket, I change the oil just about every other week when I get paid. Its at 213k now.

 

I wouldn't personally replace the headgasket unless it blew, they are pretty sturdy.

i suggest however (sorry for repeats)

Fuel Filter
NGK Plug wires
dist cap
rotor button
valve adjustment(just to be safe)
new valvecover set, plugwire seals and vc gasket
Oil pump if you have the time, (although i never see them go out on single cams, just unbalanced dohc motors.)
fuel filter
check air filter
oh, you need to replace water pump, and thermostat

That's really it, thinking back on all this stuff makes me wish I still had a honda to play around with, they are so easy to maintain, esp compared to my current whip.
