TimTaylor751647545500 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'll be working on a friend's civic this week, mainly just doing a basic tune up, but I am curious if there might be any issues that I may want to be aware of prior to getting my hands on her car. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ansonivan Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Check the valve clearances. Check the exhaust manifold for cracks around the o2 sensor hole. I've seen two of these come through in the last month and one of them had a burned valve possibly as a result of the crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Check the mileage and inquire about timing belt service. Some due at 90K, 105K, or 120K. Always a much appreciated reminder of possible upcoming expenses. Also check the oil pressure switch for leakage, it's on the back of the motor above the oil filter.
