Hey guys, 170k on my 3.0 v6 accord, got it in dec98. apparently it overheated somehow, had thermostat/thermosensor replaced as nothing was determined to be wrong when brought in, but it still overheated, (NEVER TOUCHED THE "H") when the car was on.

dunno what to say...getting a used engine from dealer, they say it came out of a 98 accord, it has 30k on the engine, and will provide me a 3yr/36k warranty. they will also replace my timing belt, waterpump, and provide my 30k service. all of this, parts/labor/tax = 3900$

my transmission was replaced at 80k and honda payed for 50% since i was past the mileage on the recall.

so with 170k total (30k on engine, and 90k on tranny), i hope that my car's odometer will hit 260k (120k on engine, and 180k on tranny) right now im driving 22k/year, so thats 4years...i hope it will last.
