The D16A6 has nothing on the A20A.
I cant agree with you there. I know of at least 7 86-91 civics(three are crx's) with 400,000 + miles on them with original engines and trannys. They had regular maintinance and a couple of clutches. But nothing that wasnt normal wear and tear. I think the "D" series engine was much better than the "A". My factual basis for this opinon is that they stopped making the "A" series in 89(the 90 year model)and they made the "D" series until 03 when they stopped making the "D" series in favor of the "K" series. Maybe honda knew somthing everyone else didnt and thats why the "A" series got dropped so soon and the "D" series had such a long run.
