199,000 miles of questions

[EXkidd91]

Kay, my 91 Ex has been mostly a streetlight racer since 155,000 and I was wondering how much hp has been lost in all those years and miles? Do you think it is time for a rebuild? I mean it's doing great with the mods I have on it. I just wanted to know what you think. Oh, it had regular oil changes, mostly non-synthetic. But I've only had it since 193,000. Can someone please help me?

how does it feel? sound?

A little preventative maintenance never hurt anything

[92ex]

just normal maintence and tune ups. You may have lost some throttle response and minimal hp, barely noticeable probably. around 250-300 000 miles is when your gonna start thinking about a fresh rebuild, or a new motor.

Check the compression, clean the IAC valve, clean the intake, change your spark plugs, Ohm test the spark plug wires, check the cap and rotor, adjust valves, timing, and idle.

If you have good compression, good spark, and clean air fuel mixture your engine should be performing as good now as it did 100K miles ago.

if you changed your oil and kept up with maintenance, very little if any. later.

i lost a lot of power to my car which is sad
im broke as a joke, but once the new motor is in it's all good

[biznes2.2]

keep up with thye oil and regular maintence and these cars run along time

[JDMcb7]

As stated above, a tune up can do wonders.

Check plugs, wires, rotor and cap. Replace if they haven't been in the past 50k.

Do a valve adjustment.

Clean the throttle body.

A can of seafoam and an oil change never really hurts.

Check air filter.

With our honda's all you got to do is change the oil and filter and they will run forever.

Thanks guys. As for the sound and how it acts, very great. It's very fast. I will get on adjusting everything. You guys think that fuel injector cleaner stuff really works?

I've got new bosh platinum 4 plugs and 9mm wires for it so those are still good, saving for a good cap, so that's good. I really thought it would be a lot worse then it is. Thanks again. you guys might have saved me a few hundred bucks.

i had over 300000 miles on mine before i replaced the engine. and it was still running in perfect condition. i just decided to go f22b dohc.

another person from louisville, wtf...im no longer alone. anyway goodluck with keeping the car in good shape. dont be like me and ignore any oil leaks and make sure you oil levels are right. changing filters and everything stated above will keep these cars running forever.

[mondojackal]

yeah, hondas leak oil like...bad...lol
mine leaks from the rear seal..pretty badly, but i just check it every week or so and just add oil as needed...hey, if it burns up, its H22 time...
but for real..i want to keep mine running for a long time...maybe even a rebuild and a turbo on a 295k motor...haha...

[Retzius]

Its good to know these hondas can last up to 300K. I plan on keeping mine for a while.
