Is there a way that i can ensure the engine life (i think its the APEX seals that go out, or something like that) I mean can i rejuvinate it some how before it goes out. If i buy a car that is about to loose an engine, can i fix it b4? THanks

 

Can i replace the seals before they go bad?

 

Age and detonation are the only real killers for apex seals. Just keep changing the oil regularly.

 

can i change them before they go bad though?

 

yes but that ivolves rebuilding the motor. if you dont do anything stupid you'll get 120-150k miles out of an engine

That requires taking the whole engine apart and rebuilding it.

 

Wouldnt that be better than waiting, and having to rebuild later(a blown engine)? Or is it to much of a hassle, or too expensive?

 

Drive the car till she dont move no more then rebuild

 

haha, ok thanks.

 

well technically dirve it till you lose an apex seal or two. I lost the front 2 seals on mine It still moves but not any where fast. HEY GUYS now i can race civics i have 73 hp.

 

Mine just turned 165k, and still going fine. You've got quite a while, pal.
