The motor really didnt need the rebuild, he just felt safer doing it on this motor than the one that came in the car, due to the fact that it had less miles and he felt it would be a better platform for the rebuild.
But yea, i think he should drive it another 600 or so. Or should I just "boost that biotch"?

once these tight clearence honda motors come apart, they are never the same.

as for 1000miles on the rings, that is ridiculous, as well as 1000miles on the bearings

you definatly should have left the motor as is, if it had no problems before. i predict a spun bearing in the near future
