Tell us how you accomplish that. Name the > engine work(s) had been done and mileage. In general, how > much an engine overhaul/rebuilt costs? For which brand car? > Where to get the new engine parts? I had (just replaced it in Aug this year) a 90 Integra RS 2D with Manual transmission. Put 320K on it. Hit a can of paint which just fell off a truck in front of me at highway speed. Ended up punching a hole in the rad, cat and gas tank. Given it needed a new timing belt, heater no longer worked and it overheated every summer, I figured the time had come to replace it. As for engine work, did oil changes every 6-9K (all highway miles, very clean running). Did water pump and timing belt every 80K. Did new tires every year. Body (trunk, right rear panel) might?? have made another year but probably would have been pretty drafty. Rad flushed every year. Brakes done once a year. Still had original clutch when car was retired. Almost felt criminal getting a grand for it when I turned it in. The sad part is someone probably ended up paying 3G for it off a curb lot. Any questions, fire away. Loved the car. Never let me down once. Great mechanic helped alot. He unfortunately suffered some m. problems this past year and could no longer continue the support like he did. -- Dave Bour Nortel dbournopsamVEnortel.com Sorry for the antispamming efforts, to reply to me, remove the REMOVE from my email address.
