Car about to hit 200K What can I expect?

[topcop182]

Ok, so my cb is getting ready to hit the 200k mark. I am a little worried as this is the highest miles I have ever had on a car thus far and Same goes for everyone else I know. So My first question is in the near future what can I expect to go wrong? So far this past year I had to re-do the Balence shaft seal = 500.00 + along with everything that goes along with that, and new front brakes = 400.00 +! I have the 91 Ex So the F22A? I think. Second question what would you recommend as far as some precautionary things that I do to the motor so That I don't get stranded or something unwelcomed happens. (Aside from the standard maintence I do already) Now let me preface this by saying that I know each car, each motor, each driver is different, and there is no Cold hard formula or way of predicting 100% that something bad will happen. But It never hurts to hear some first hand knowlodge of things That everyone else has expierenced. at this point in owning a honda. Any insight is greatly appreciated. And mods feel free to move this if this is in the wrong section!

It will fall to pieces. Never break 200k.

dude dont worry about it... If its still running strong and the T-belt is good, there shouldnt be any reason to worry.

[topcop182]

How would I tell if the timming belt was good? Do you mean like is the rubber cracked and dried out? or the actual timming of the motor?

[texasvtak]

Wow, calm down. 200 isnt a magical number. 206,xxx...is

timing belt
water pump
rear main seal
valve cover gasket, distrubutor gasket, cam seal
radiator hoses
spark plugs and wires
CATALYTIC CONVERTER <=should get a new one, your is probably really clogged
air filter.
cap and rotor of the distributor,
tranny fluid,
maybe a new radiator to be on the safe side.

i think if you replace all of the above you should be in a good place

all of that shit should have been done thousands of miles ago...

main relay and ignitor! those went out on me at 155K so if you haven't fixed those, it'll happen sooner or later. just chill out man, its not like its gonna blow up, dont lose sleep over it or anything lol

[doughboy415]

265,xxx still going strong. No major problems had all belts and seals replaced at 200k.

i just replaced the entire suspension, motor, brake system and i still have steering to go...

plus, if you start seeing your timing belt crack, you are definitely lucky because they usually snap before that point. id check the teeth and see if they are rounded/worn.

what ever you do, do not use one of those high-mileage fuel treatments or oil treatments.

I did that to my old engine, 4 months later the engine stopped working. I think I had about 210 000 miles on the engine then.

All the grime buildup in the engine actually protects it from leaking and blowing up.
