- Fixed the oil leaks (no more cookie sheet under the engine when I park! Yay!) - New brake master cylinder - New tires - Replaced the O2 sensor (no more pesky code 43!) Ready for another 50,000 miles. I love this car. -Mark :-) I know what you mean, since I feel the same about my 91 Civic. Did you install an OEM oxygen sensor? >- Fixed the oil leaks (no more cookie sheet under the >engine when I park! Yay!)

I had the work done by a local independent shop. Keep the group in mind if there are every any problems with it. I know an online shop for OEM Honda sensors that has great prices. Used them a couple years ago. If it was independent import, chances are fair they used a Denso, which is OEM. >> :-) I know what you mean, since I feel the same about my >> 91 Civic.

I think this is my third O2 sensor in 175k miles. Next time I get a code 43 I'm just going to replace the O2 sensor and save myself the spendy fuel pump diagnosis. Now if only our weather would improve, I could get to work putting goop on the tailight gaskets. -Mark >- Fixed the oil leaks (no more cookie sheet under the engine when I park! >Yay!)

The oil leaks were in the camshaft and the balance shaft oil seals, so naturally they replaced the timing belt and the water pump while they had it all apart. >> The timing belt is good to go, too? >> > Yep.

I'm confident the car is good for another 25k miles, at least. It's still cheaper than car payments. >>"Mark" <anon40629@hotmail.com> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I'm confident the car is good for another 25k miles, > at least. It's still cheaper than car payments. Next oil leak MIGHT be the oil pressure switch. It's above the oil filter. Be sure not to strip the threads on the oil drain too! bob > "N.E.Ohio Bob" <rgstroud@neo.rr.com> wrote: > >> > > Next oil leak MIGHT be the oil pressure switch.

Regarding the oil drain, the shop I use offers a custom upgrade for the oil drain. They cut out the stamped threaded hole and weld in a machined bushing. The bushing is drilled and tapped for a new drain plug. It's spendy, so I haven't had it done yet. I probably should. -Mark |
