Breath life into old Engine
I have a 90 integra LS with about 170,000 miles on it. The engine sounds tired. Should I overhaul it? New pistons? Valves? Pulleys? Cams? Or should I just get a rebuilt motor. Whats is the most cost effective? I am not build a track car. Just something reliabe and quick

Re: Breath life into old Engine
it'd cost less to do it yourself, plus if you want to build it up a little to get some more power out of it, nows the time!

Re: Breath life into old Engine
did a compression and leakdown tell you that, or is that an assumption?

Re: Breath life into old Engine
^^I think he's telling you to do a compression and leakdown test before you decide to tear a decent engine apart......

Re: Breath life into old Engine
How much does that cost? My engine squeaks like a hamster wheel or something. I think it may be a piston bearing or something Plus my Idle bounces around. It only loops before it warms up but after it warms up the idle bounces around maybe 100 rpms or so....It's just not steady.

Re: Breath life into old Engine
the squeaking might be a belt or pulley, which is normal for a older engine
a compression and leakdown will probably run you what ever a shop charges for an estimate, but that will give you a very good look into your motor
