1988 Honda Accord LX w/ 227Kmi. This car is new to me and I do not know much of the service history. I bought it from a government impound lot, DUI confiscation (so it was running at time of impound). Sat for about 35 days before I took ownership. Air filter was in trunk at time of purchase, but carb screen was VERY clean. Air filter may have only been removed by someone later to try and start it as there were also 2 batteries and jumper cables in trunk. Cams looked clean, very low varnish. When I got home I changed the oil and filter (GC 0w-30 "M02" & Honda dealer filter circa 1999).
During this sample I replaced the cam seal, front crank seal, VC gasket, timing belt, oil filter housing gasket, air filter, plugs, wires, and fuel pump. No additives, fuel treatments, etc. Compression test 180 psi

For the most part I am impressed except for the Lead and Silicon. But that may be caused by the gasket changes, etc? I do not really know why copper would be so low compared to lead.code:
