Three thumbs-up for having more than twice the mileage I have AND having more than TWICE the looks I have!

Thanks Guys!

Thanks for the props guys... To answer some of your questions in the longevity of the Prelude.... no secret really... The H22A is so well designed, it doesn't take much to maintain its youth. I think the main reason why the engine is lasting so long... it's mainly because the internals are stock. No aftermarket cams, rods, pistons... not even gears. The only mods I have on the lude is intake, exhaust, cat. converter, VTEC AFC.... all installed mainly to let the Prelude breath a little easier... but kept within stock spec. Engine oil wise... every 3000 to 5000 miles...I always use Castrol Synthetic 10W40

I'm almost tempted to run another dyno session just to see what the HP is pushing now... the last one I did about 2 years ago, with about 200,000 miles... it was at 170 HP to the wheels... with another 50K added on... we'll have to see

Ken
