[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 1719400, member: 27518"] nope.. don't hope for a better engine down the line.. the K series and R series will not be so easily shoehorned into an old EG/EK chassis. It requires major work, and likely not easily approved by the JPJ, if at all. As I said, plan well if you're buying a car. A car that 'works fine' now will almost always be a bit more expensive, but will still be have parts that break down. The next model if you want to swap a R/K series would be the ES, since the 2006 civic makes it obsolete already. Just the patience of waiting for it to fall to reasonable levels where we can buy it at sub 25K :P leakdown/compression test is a way of checking the condition of the piston rings and cyclinder walls without opening up the engine. If your mechanic doesn't know how to do that, I'd be wary of calling him a 'mechanic'. Anyway.. it's not a matter of DOHC VTEC being more complete, I'm saying this because an old car is a money pit being dug, and it's simply the idea of trying to be ECONOMICAL in the long run, esp. since our used car prices don't allow us to switch to another used car after 1-2 years of use. Repairing a honda isn't cheap, which is why a swap is almost always recommended. [/QUOTE]
