A.K.A. close tolerence motors, and wether or not the upper end needs to be redone or not depends on if you actually bend the valves or not. ive not seen too many engines doing over 150lbs on a compression test with bent valves. Granted thats the cylinder im worried about the others have higher pressures. Even then, provided the damage wasnt severe, drop the two (4 valves per head cylinder) that were damaged out, lap in two new one and slam the thing back together. Theres not much sense having a valve job done and a resurface on the head on a car thats got over 200k on the ticker. You'd be amazed at the engines ive made run and the condition they were in when I started.

Oh, I can come up with soooo many more examples of why Hondas piss me off. Dont get me wrong here. Someone in my immediate family has owned a honda for almost as long as I can remember. They are pretty much bulletproof. Hell my dad had a '83 Civic station wagon. He drove 40 miles one way to work for at least 10 years with that thing. I drove the living shit out of it while I was in high school and my car was broken down. My brother got it his senior year in high school and proceeded to drive it to somewhere around 277k miles when it finally died. But I also have nightmare stories from working on hondas. Some mid-eightys engines liked to freeze the cam in the head (a friend had a CRX that did that), spindle bearings in early 90s accords, changing axle shafts is easy, but often you tear the lower ball joint boot, and holy shit if you have an electrical problem. So, after a few more repairs to the wife's del Sol it should be good for at least another 50k, if I can figure out why its missing.

Ok, so remember that this car has had most of its scheduled service done at the correct time. This timing belt had about 100k on it. My wife is the only one who drives it and doesnt abuse it. Today after my stop at the parts store again, and an attempt to replace the o2 sensor. It snaps off at the threads. So I remove the heat shield to get at the remaining portion and see that the damn exhaust manifold is cracked, in two. Now I knew it had an exhaust leak, and was prepared to replace the exhaust gasket. No. Do ya know how many parts stores keeps that particular part in stock? NONE. Cept one. Summit. Yes, the aftermarket performance parts supplier, and after a two hour trip. We get back, replace all these parts total: distributor cap/rotor, spark plug wires, spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, o2 sensor, exhaust manifold and a headlight. So the car has a miss at idle up to about 2000 rpm, but above that it has the power a 227k mile car should have, and theres a tick, so it sounds like the valves need to be adjusted. Arrggggh! We'll at least its in running condition. Now all I gotta do is replace an axle shaft. Woohoo! Im off to Dublin tomorrow cuz I got my chores done.

Wow!! Are you in Luck!! It just so happens that I have an RV sitting at the Dublin Airport that will have to have a Brake Job before I drive it home (Rear Brakes Got Nothin at the moment). Bring some Clothes you dont mind getting dirty and I will gladly show everything you ever wanted to know about a brake system and let you get all the First hand experience you want. Hmmm.. thats gonna be drum brakes. Not so many cars still using drums, even on the rear. Youre just trying to get out of dirty work. If I was able to bring my car I'd just throw my tool box in the back and we'd knock it out one afternoon. Drum brakes are easy. Oh, does it have a fixed axles or floating axles?

They cost a ton to have done at a shop bacause youre gettin it in the bunghole. Brakes are a joke. Seriously, if you change the pads in a timely manner, and there is no warping (evident by a shaking when you press the brakes) you can just slap a new set of pads on. Or you might have to have the rotors turned. Some newer vehicles have "throw" away rotors meaning that the thickness is only good for one or two turnings, maybe less, and you have to get new ones. That can be expensive. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865

My other thread got me to thinking. Who has the greatest number of miles on their automobile? Did you put them all on yourself? Have you had any major repairs? Ive had a few high milage vehicles myself. 84 VW Jetta 180,000. I bought it from my parents friends. 79 Chevrolet Malibu with well over 200k, but multiple motors, and trannys, and rear ends. 94 Mitsubish galant w/ 141k I put 70k on my pontiac Vibe in 2.5 years and it was well on its way to being a champ until that crazy pulled out in front of me. Now lets hear some real high milers. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
