wah.. if you planning to keep the car, i reckon, do a transplant.

Yep, depending on your finanical position and what you decide with your car, as destrukshn said, if your planning on keeping the car for sometime (lets say at least 2 years or more) and the engine sounds like its gonna let go, do an engine transplant, might use a little more petrol and cost of insurance is gonna go up a little but in the end you get (depending on the engine you drop in) a healthier engine with more performance with added VTEC yO!

But if your not planning on keeping it, then start looking for a new one, for a 95' Civic, thats a hell lot of k's on it.
