Civic HX engine rebuild for MPG and Durability
Hey everybody,
I am at 215k on my 97 HX. I know the timing belt needs to be done, and I've found myself replacing seals everywhere. The more I think about it, the more I am thinking it may be time to learn how to rebuild and engine.
I'm interested in trying to improve MPG as well as durability. What kinds of changes could I make to a D16Y5 that could improve those?
I'm interested in solid upgrades, but not in spending tons of cash.
If there are upgrades I should consider while I'm in there, what do you think the $$ difference would be between incorporating those updates vs. just building a stock setup ?
Thanks for your suggestions and insight.
