forget about the whole redline thing and the family car bologne , that the good thing about Honda with VTEC , u can redline these cars all freakin day , i reccomend to pamper ur car oil changes and run 93 octane so that if your a redline lover you experience the power of these engines with no problems , my 94 accord ex 9 (5 speed) i redline it to 6500 before it shuts me down , which I dont make a big deal cause the car roars big time and people who ride with me love it. So what the engine wears down , everytime its on its a constant battle of metal in there ..just do the oil changes thats my thing!!! and ohh yeah , im gonna put a H22 for the reason its DOHC , if all accords were DOHC i wouldnt do the swap but it aint over here in the USDM , so change is coming u Orlando Honda Haters!!! peace
