Hi, 8 months ago i bought my 1st car, an '93 Honda Prelude Si with the rare f22b motor. Last weekend i took it to have the spacing between my cams and valves adjusted to the correct gaps, wich is 0.25mm int. and 0.30mm exh. Now that the motor perfoming that it should i gave it a good revving into the limiter. As murphy would have his way, i broke the rings in 2 of my cylinders..... * +

If you have the time to do it then strip it down and rebuild it, if not then an exchange is the order of the day * +

Honda was so kind to give me a jolt in my blood pressure, R11,998,00. Aftermarket i could only get estimates as they need to see the parts to give me something similar, around R4000,00 - R5000,00. ..... * +
