Been a good strong engine/box, lasted through my learner years and 9 months while i've been on my Ps. Had it for like 2 years 3 months now.

[ML]

[Mitch M]

My one has done about 154,000 km's


2k since i had an engine rebuild ...

What to look out for changes between what models you want, like VTi, Si, GL etc.

[alan]

just dun 90,000km service
1997 ek1 civic sedan

[Setanta]

It's not an EG, but IMO milage doesn't matter - it's how the car has been treated.

My '90 SiR had 168,000kms on it when I bought it - now it has 278,000 and by the end of June will have hit 280,000. Thats the original factory B16A that I have revved the crap out of more than once. No problems with the motor except for noisy valves - no burning oil or oil loss, compression is spot on as of a test 2 months ago.

Check the log books for regular services (between 5000 and 8000kms is best). I f I saw that, I'd be happy with the car as long as compression, oil seals etc were ok.

[geo41e]

bought it at 194K ...2mths later..on 197K ???

l have no clue where i've been drivin lols..l hardly drive it too lols!!!

engine is smooth!!

[saboteur]

Yeah I've rebuilt gearbox and I have noisy valves (sounds like an SR20DET at idle heh) but engine still runs smooth :D

[fusion_VTi]

[kimbi]

i bought my ek4 civic with 108,000km.. had it for a year and its just on 119xxx (i shed a tear when i rolled into a maccas carpark and it rolled over to 115xxx hehehe) my mechanic says my car wont die until long after 300,000 if i keep her nice. But i choose to off road it ;)

[**Ghost**]

wot exactly does an engine reubuild involve? valves? pistons? conrods?

[[[d a n n y]]]

replace anything that's worn..
