hey guyz

as u may know now....the DC2Rs are showing there age in terms of kms.....so
wanted to know if anybody out there had to do a rebuild due to high kms ?

if so..please post up specs and what was done and how much.

Cheers

you should be looking at a (possible) rebuild at around 200k if that....depends if the car is loosing more oil due to worn rings or valves etc.
All C7's are higher performance and tighter tolerances than most other honda engines so no doubt , if treated alittle bad they would need something rebuilt closer down the track.

I think that if you're rebuilding at 120k then you must be thrashing your cars ****

Maybe its a full time race car.

Always do a compression or leak down test. This will show signs of wear and tear. You should be gettin 250-260 PSI for a healthy B18c7 motor
