How many sets of tires have you replaced in all this time? How many miles do you get out of a set?
ahh ok, thanks for clearing that up. Ya when I saw that new oil test that was looking a lot better, but hey more than 500k on the original is NOT bad at all!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 original engine was changed at 649,000 milesahh ok, thanks for clearing that up. Ya when I saw that new oil test that was looking a lot better, but hey more than 500k on the original is NOT bad at all!
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.How many sets of tires have you replaced in all this time? How many miles do you get out of a set?
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.How many miles on the engine you put in? It can’t have only 12k if it’s the same type of 31 year old engine??
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.How many timing belts have you gone through?
Did you tear down the old engine, see why it was burning so much oil? Would love to see some tear-down pics of an engine with that many miles on it.

No attachment to view. I’d really like to see it.
Funny! I love this thread Harry j!!Other than the rear main seal, I have had no problems with the "new" engine. I had a devil of a time trying to load the oil report from
Blackstone, a good dinner and a couple of bottles of suds made all the difference.
himemsys, take care if it and it will take care of you.You give me aspirations to push my 2003 Civic. It's at 174k now, and my realistic expectations are that it lasts to 200k, which at the rate I'm driving now is about 3.5 more years. But who knows?
