Hi all,
Here's the latest in my continuing runs:
During this change, at around 105k, the valve covers were removed and the valves adjusted by a honda tech. I took the following photos at that time (with a blackberry, but you can get the gist of how clean this engine is:
115k on the engine now. Been consuming 1 quart every 4k miles [censored] near since new - hasn't changed and frankly, with results like this, I don't want it to change
Gets warmed up gently everyday, then driven hard once warmed up. Engine has never been touched besides a valve adjustment. Entire drivetrain has never been touched. Original 02 sensors, water pump, wheel bearings, suspension....the list goes on. Dead reliable car.
The suspension feels worn out now and it's making some exhaust noises from probably a heat shield. But man, what a car.
I put M1 0w40 back in. These results are great for an oil I'm getting for ~$5-6 / quart.
I welcome comments & questions.
Joe
