rebuild my engine????

[Green_92_EX]

I have over 300k on my engine, and it still runs great. I'v heard alot about rebuilding it, but I'm not realy sure what that means. Is that some thing I can do myself. Will it give me more power or make my engine last longer?(Yeah i know its probably a dumn question.)

First of all, welcome to CB7Tuner.com!

Second, no, the average rebuild will not give you more power, but it will last longer. A rebuild is basically the process of replacing all the parts inside the engine.

I believe what you're thinking about gaining power is when a motor is "built." That's when there's performance modifications done like boring the cylinders, etc. I'm fairly new to engine internals so I'll let the veterans finish up for me.

actually, a rebuild might give you a slight increase in power, but thats not power like adding an intake would be, its more like power thats been over the years lost to wear and tear. Im not saying it would be a substantial amount, but it would be there . . .

you could do it yourself just buy a manual and keep cb7tuner.com nearby. Oh and u could get an accord engine from the junkyard and practice on that

Basically what I said... haha. We're talking about "power increase" as in more power than stock when the car was new.

Mine has 300,000 as well
good buy tho. mine runs good to. Has about 350,000 miles.

Shave the head, deck the block there is your more power than stock.

You can put in a simple bolt-in swap with under 50,000 miles for less than the cost of a rebuild. The F22B DOHC makes 160hp, costs about $850, and drops right in. No point in rebuilding an F22A (stock motor) unless you're going to make it stronger (usually for a turbo setup).

Sounds great, but i can't realy aford it.

So basicly the answer is its not realy a great idea to rebuild my stock engine?

I second that.

just get one with low miles....good luck

[Crazemonie]

Basically, if you engine is still running great, there's no point in rebuilding it unless it's for more power like boost as Deevergot suggested. But if you can't afford a rebuild or a new engine right now, then I'd advise you to hold off and wait until you can, then do as you please.
