Buyer beware… ENGINE

A comprehensive service history is very desirable. Oil leaks are quite common, so take a good look at the valve cover gaskets, the rear cam plug seals and the solenoids. Ensure the timing belt, water pump and camshaft belt pulley have been changed every seven years or 70,000 miles. Listen for any noises in the VTEC operation. It should be smooth and quiet hot or cold. Check the header tank for coolant leaks.
