i dont know that is pretty odd for a honda to go at 130000 miles. it tends to be a honda will go 250000 pending on how you drive.

Re: si engine and the hf
yea it depends how the car was driven and how it was taken care of. If it was well maintained and cared for it could last a long time. But if it gets abused and not taken care of then parts will wear out faster and die out, good luck and let see some pics......

Re: si engine and the hf
my buddy drew had a 89 si with just over 200,000 miles on it and he beat the hell out of it. it would still be running today if the alternator didnt overcharge and fuck up the ecu.

An si blowing at 130K is very unusual, who knows what the downfall of your engine was unless you take it all apart and find out. Mmy theory on why si engines probably wouldnt last as long is just because they are always running at higher rpm than what and hf engine would, so you could say the si engine is under more stress/heat than an hf engine is at any given time.

Re: si engine and the hf
132,000 when my d16a6 blew. My parents bought the car brand new in March, 1990 and it was my moms car, and I know she didn't rev that thing much. When the engine blew, it was before I really drove fast, and never raced or anything.
