Default Re: 2000 civic si question

your going to have to replace the pistons, rings and rods in the long run anyway if your going to boost, so buying a complete new motor is pretty much a waste of money. have the clearances and compression checked on the old motor. if its within specs i would just rebuild that one. to tell you the truth 100k miles isnt all that bad on a honda motor unless the previous owner flogged the hell out of it.
