Just thought I'd share that. A little positive news. 232K miles and all is well.

That's great to hear =D.

Holy cow, you made a thread about NOT having problems? LMAO that just made my day right there!


I think it should go to mechanical problems just because LOL

Hahaha you that would be good. ...it was in "Basic Engine Performance"

I guess this is a spectrum of basic engine performance, as in the overall performance of the engine over time. But I thought that section was for things like I/H/E, EGR delete, tune ups. Like "advanced engine performance" would be for Boost and high compression stuff.

JINX!!!!!

My cars always have issues after I think to myself "Hey this thing is running well for a change".

just did a valve lash job on my old beauty and she is quiet as ever. even more so.

Carbuff2

Were many of the valves out-of-spec?

How much out?

guitarsnlikker

Didn't count, I just did all of them. I used 0.20mm intake and 0.25mm for exhaust and Im sure i had a couple exhaust ones that must have been up to .35 or so (just guessing, didn't exactly measure). The intakes were ok just a couple that were maybe at 025mm or so. The reduction in noise is very noticeable.

OK... how is this even possible....
I filled up last night reset trip mileage, drove 192.6 miles on the highway and county highways (very few stop signs or lights) . filled up today with 4.38 gallons. that is 43.9mpg!! how is this possible in a 12 year old car with 235K miles? Im amazed.

Because Honda,
When I borrowed my buddy's car for a month ('99 hatch) I got 43 mpg and I beat the snot out of it

ezone

That's got a whole lot to do with it
