Honda Car Forum

I'm stuck trying to fix my car and if it's not one thing, it's another.... if someone could point me in the right direction i would be very grateful! =]

Considering that the car is pretty old now and there are a lot of them around I would just suggest looking into just getting a whole another engine from a private seller locally. Sometimes a rebuilt kit can even cost you more than just another used engine but then again it may last you longer than another used engine. If you are having other problems with like starter or distributor or fuel issues I would just look into an engine swap from somebody locally. If you just need the internals replaced then just get an engine rebuilt kit.

Your better off getting a new rebuilt engine due to the possible mileage you might have on this cars engine.But it all depends on if your going to keep the car or not.There is alot more there than meets the eye on fixing your engine unless you really know what your doing.If not get ahold of someone that has rebuilt the engine to either help you or get some reall good advice from a machinist shop if you might plan on rebuilding this engine you got.But overall the cheapest way to go is with a rebuilt.All you have to do is take yours out becuase they might charge a core charge for your engine for a new replacement one.hgm20002000@yahoo.com

try a new fuel rale. or get it rebilthope it helps~Wes

three pistons or three cylinders ??? common problem on these older engines is that the valves do not get adjusted and it will burn the exhaust valve in that cylinder. if this is the case you would need a valve job($800.00) you would need to do a compression test to find this out. honda tech 12yrs. if car has alot of miles you might consider getting a newer car.
