revving hard....

[ebpda9]

umm i beat on the accord for the past 100k miles. i checked the compression at 180k and guess what ? still 192 psi same as new. that's with the carbon buildup removed. once the compression went below that and i was burning oil but that proved to be because one of my valves was missadjusted and it would stay partially open while it was supposed to be fully closed. after i did my valve lash adjustament the car never had any problems.

i havd only 2 problems with my tranny in the 90k miles: one burnt shift solenoid ($200 for the parts and 10 minutes to fix) and the ever continuin rough shift, rough idle in drive or reverse. a tranny flush will take care of tat problem. i guess honda knows why it reccomends 25-30k miles for the first tranny fluid change, and 15k miles after that. and one more thing: use the honda atf, cheaper than at the ap stores and the car shifts a lot better.
