hi i have a 98 honda civic lx with about 100k miles, and i wanted to know when is it time to rebuild. we dont have enouf money to get a new car now or in any close time in the future, so when do you know you need to rebuild your engine.

 

When it won't run anymore.

 

Keep Your Basic Tune Ups On The Clock And Your Engine Will Last For As Long As You Take Care Of It.

 

depends on how the engine runs and performs
i ran my 150k mile prelude burning over 1 quart of oil a week for 3 months before i finally spun a rod bearing on ole lucky #2.

i really spun the bearing because the guy put 87 octane in it at the gas station, and i had a MIL code for a broken knock sensor at the time

so i get super jackass points for not paying attention :goodjob:

if it doesnt burn/consume oil then i wouldnt worry.
just change the fluids and be smart about it...cause if you arent you will pay for it.
