Integra with 250000 kms

[TexNAss]

my teg has 301xxx kms on it and still going strong despite burning and leaking oil everywhere!

Hell Lukey- now I don't feel so bad with my DC2 staring down the barrel of 200'000kms.. For the 200k celebrations its a B&M Short Shifter install.

Valve stem seals are on order to stop its latest bad habit.

Just done water pump/timing-belt last weekend; rear wheel bearings a fortnight ago(so much quieter and doesn't rattle any more); Brake Master Cylinder about 10k ago.....

So do tell- what is next to fail, OOPS, I mean- what is next on replacement list?

Anyone in Sydney want to offer to do it for me? Haha I'll ask benjamin

I think the ticking reduced after I topped IP the oil so maybe valve lashes are fine, supposedly last done 8 months ago. Should I still get it done anyway?

thats the vid of the motor, can hear the ticking noise nad some vacuum noise ven thouigh fans arent on

[aurnob88]

i think the oil burning smell may be due to the old pcv valve on the intake manifold, it looks black as and old plugged in, from waht i can tell

replace whatever fails lol. ive had a ignition coil in the dizzy die on me, my cmc leaks brakefluid at the clutch pedal and has done for years, just like my oils leaks i dont really care lol i just keep topping it up.

my brake proportional valve leaks brake fluid.

had top radiator hose explode but again that was my laziness not replacing it when i knew it needed to be.

just keep up regular servicing and other maintenance items and youll be sweet

my engine needs a full rebuild, but ive picked up a lower km engine to drop in instead

Does anyone know what the suction noise is. Also do I need valve lash?

Thanks Lukey. Damn it- just looked at top hose after i read that- its leaking ~>:) More fun..

Aurnob88- **I CANT VIEW THE VIDEO** Yes you need 'valve lash' refer to http://www.ehow.com/about_5102025_valve-lash.htm.
Essentially its a little play in the valve-train to allow for the valves/cams/gears to expand as they get hot- otherwise the metal would expand and the valves would not close (the heat expands the metals which forces the valves open a few 10ths of a mm. And/Or when the motor was cold the valve wouldn't open fully (because there is too much play).

Not hard to do (as we have a screw and lock-nut design)- try working with shims on motorbikes for something painful.

Hardest things to teach people is the way a feeler gauge should feel when its 'rubbing' between the faces instead of being pinched; and how to tighten the locknut without moving the screw. (DOUBLE CHECK YOUR GAP AFTER YOU"VE TIGHTENED THE NUT.)

Only really 'weirdo' tool needed is a 10mm socket (FROM MEMORY) with a inbuilt screw driver (if you want to get hi-tech and make your life even easier) and feeler guages (most people dont own a set). Both are around 12-15 dollars if you look around.
