And I've got an m96 that has a significant bearing that likes to let loose with no warning.
I don't know man....hehehe. |
I have to agree, Honda engines are more robust than any others I've owned and they LOVE being exercised. The 1.7L V-tec in my Integra was constantly driven from 6000-8000RPM, that's the only way it would make any power. 200,000 miles with alot of time spent at redline and the thing still ran great and barely used any oil. All the other engine driven components needed replacing like the alternator, ps pump, water pump, ect, but that engine just loved to rev.
Sometimes I really miss that car.
It was the precurser to the 2.0 in the S2000 so I have to imagine those cars have an equally robust nature.
