reliable B17
This may seem like a big question, but in comparison to other Honda/Acura engines, how "quality" are the B17 engines in the 92-93 Teg GSR's? I have a 94 Civic right now, and I wonder if it would be a small step down in reliability since the B17's aren't nearly as common as B18's. I hear you guys talk smack on the old 2.0 Prelude motors so much, makes me wonder if these are just as bad (bad by honda standards, anyways)

Re:reliable B17
92-93 is not old, considering all 1g B16's are 89-91. Unless it has over 150k miles I really wouldnt worry about it. The usdm B17a and the JDM B16a 1g both produce 160hp, only difference is the 6lb ft's more torque the B17 has.
