Ok i just bought a 94 GSR that was going to be a project, well the engine has 206K miles on it but they were pampered "old people owned it" and the engine feels kind of sluggish, do you think it has to many miles and the engine is junk or do you think a couple new parts could bring it back to life, it starts right up without hesitation and revs fine it just feels slow. What can i do to renew this engine until summer "thats when my other engine will be done"
well if old ppl owned it vtec may have been rarely used, and sludge build up may be preventing the solenoids from locking the rockers. try adding some auto tranny fluid next oil change(use 1qt of tran fluid in place of 1 qt of the oil, if it take's 5 qt's then 4 qt's oil 1 qt trans fluid) change the oil after 500-1000 miles. the detergents in the auto trans fluid can break up the sludge.
