    Re: Average Engine Mileage of a 3gee

    My 89 LX-i has about 221K miles on it. No major repairs have been done yet to my knowledge, though when I got it the engine was running pretty rough (previous owner didn't understand the concept of maintenance) and the manual transmission was stuck (I managed to un-stick it somehow and it's been fine since). It's still not running perfect, but I'm constantly fixing and adjusting little things, and it's getting better. Many thanks to the members of this forum for that!

    Re: Average Engine Mileage of a 3gee

    Mine is a 86LXi and has just reached 251,000 miles. Original engine, A/T. Basically, no major mods.

    Big repair job done:-
    - All seals on engine at 180k, now the main front seal is leaking again.
    - Alternator was replaced after the car was parked for 6+ months (Started car again and found alternator not charging) (at around 200k mark)
    - Starter was replaced at 240k
    - Radiator was replaced at 240k
    - A/C compressor was replaced at 230k after prolong problems with clutch. High pressure hose was repaired by a local hydraulic shop. The whole system was retrofitted to R134a and has been blowing ice cold air for 2+ years and no leaking.
    - Drive axels are original, only have boots changed when split.
    - Just replaced the rear suspension upper control arms.

    I have faithfully changing oil every 3 to 4 k miles using Castrol 10w-30. Tranny oil is changed usually around 15k to 20k using Honda ATF.
    The other maintenance are pretty much what a typical home mechanic can do. It is very reliable car and I drive 80 miles total a day when I am working.

    Re: Average Engine Mileage of a 3gee

    Saw one in a wrecking yard that had 389,000 on it. It didn't want to be there it had been rear ended but other than that looked to be in great shape. The others there had 183,000 to 230,000 on them few of them wrecked. Probably most of them had misdiagnosed problems that could have been easily fixed. A few were obviously abused.

    Re: Average Engine Mileage of a 3gee

    218k miles on mine. I'm only responsible for about 8k worth.
    Bought it from a buddy for 400$ because it needed a battery. I parked it for a little over a year and then had to replace the alternator as it was siezed up. At some point someone had replaced the fuse for the cooling fan with the wrong amperage and had removed the relay.
    Soooo... I replaced the head about 2k ago.
    I'm fixing it up a little at a time. I'm going for 300k and feel like this will be the last car I ever own.

    Re: Average Engine Mileage of a 3gee

    257,000 miles on my SE-i. Engine work done has been a valve grind, head boiled and milled .008 and new valve seals. Pistons and cylinders were in good shape during this work so I left the bottom end alone. The head work I did was because I got a hose clamp sucked in through my throttle body and into the valves.
