Replace engine or no?

[Cuddles]

So I bought a CB7 and the engine has over 211 thousand miles. I wanted to replace it with a F22B, however, my girlfriend thinks I should save my money (I dont make much and thats why) and just wait until it breaks and replace parts. I think it would be a wiser choice to drop a newer engine into it so I dont have to wait until it breaks and then be out a car while the engine is being fixed. What do you guys think?

[boosted4life]

i say replace the engine now or if your girlfriend said wait until it breaks just beat the crap outta the car until it goes

[nowkear]

i think your girls say right! your engine is in great shape? save some money for a major upgrade like h22 or turbo another one... it's funny to see how far a f22a1 can go!

[Cuddles]

Engine seems to be in good shape. Pulls nicely, and no leaks (from what I can see). There is only one thing, the idle goes a little low sometimes, but I think thats no big deal.

Stick with what you got.

Your girl is right. I would stick with what you got for now. Sounds like your still running pretty strong. Just check the Idle speed other then that sounds like your in very good shape and like has been said before, do what I'm doing save the money for a swap. Im running the stock motor in my cb7 until either it drops dead (not likely) or I have enough saved up for a swap. Just my two cents.

yes just save up as much money as you can so when it does blow up you will have the money to reaplace with whatever engine you are intersted in and plus my car has 210,000 it still runs strong and i already got aomw monwy saved up for the f22b DOHC then turbo

First wut F22B DOHC jdm or USDM if u want get another one just get a long block and bolt up to the tranny i say get a F22 DOHC and bolt it up to your a1 trans then Boost that bad boy. that shit would be a Freeway monster with those long ass gears on the a1 tranny

[Shadow1]

i agree wit the others. just run it until it dies.

or...

if you want you can get another f22a1 or a6 motor and build that up then when your other motor dies you go a built motor already. turbo and all. thats wat i would do

That was my plan minus the turbo. I know I wont have enough cash flow to keep it strong or to even piece it all together.

i say stick it out and then when it does go, get an h22

200k miles on a honda is nothing as long as you have changed the oil and timming belt regularly. there are plenty on maintained hondas that have made it to 500k+ miles. later.

oh, you will want the turbo. besides, i have 299k miles..you've got a teenager. its got some life left.

[Davids92Accord]

exactly maybe you dont want the turbo right now maybe it doesnt sound like a bad idea but just wait it might not kick in now or later but one day it will and you are gonna wanna turbo that bad boy
