I would have liked to tear the oil engine down, but it is long gone. At the last head gasket change, I noticed the pistons wiggled in the bores, so I think the rings were shot.

I have the timing belt, seals, tensioner and water pump every 60,000 miles or so. so that would make about 11 times i estimate.

you're right addguy, I don't know how many miles the engine had on it, so i am going to report the miles i put on it.

I have lost track, many tires! The Michelins i used over he years are no longer made. It is getting harder to find good 13" tires nowadays. I am using Hankook synergy st tires now. I rate them very good, almost as good as the Michelins were.

the original engine was changed at 649,000 miles

researcher, the original engine was put out to pasture, it was burning too much oil. the present engine is pretty good, the only problem i have had with it is the rear main seal started to leak and was replaced.

The Civic now has 654,000 miles on it, the rear main seal is leaking, parts on order

Camshaft for sure Pim Tac, but what i'm saying is why is iron so affected and yet the softer metals are not.

Vehicles operate on their fluids. Keep your fluids clean and changed often and 300,000 miles can easily reached. My Civic still has the original, un-rebuilt power steering pump, just by changing the fluid often for example.

750 thousand sounds good, we'll see. I would like to know why the iron is so high, yet all other metals are low.

No, hooze dat?

Here's another update; the Civic now has 647,000 miles on it.

Another quick update, the Civic's engine as well as the rest of the car, now has 647,000 miles on it.

I just got back from another trip to Florida, that little engine never missed a beat while getting 45 mpg getting there and only 36 mpg on the way back. I think this engine still has a lot of life in it.

Iron did increase somewhat. Did you look at the aluminum ppms, it is lower than the universal average. The Civic engine of course has an aluminum block.

I am considering 0W-40 oil, I'm not there yet

I have another engine, I'm just curious to see how far I can take this one.
