That is probably good advice for anyone buying a '40k mile' Japanese motor, not just the ZC. I am assuming that you were religious about doing oil changes, right?

Join the club. I blew the headagsket on my zc.
It must have had a ot more miles than I had estimated. I now replaced it with a b16 so we will see what happens with this motor. So needless to say I feel what you are going through.

So needless to say I feel what you are going through.i spun a bearing once, thats what got my whole bottom end done, figured if i had to take it apart i might as well build it while its apart right??
My ZC starting knocking after only three days of running when I first put it in. I know it was due to an oil pump problem, so I replaced the oil pump and the rod bearings. Number three on mine was ticking, but I was lucky and caught it early enough before any damge could be done. It seems Honda's don't like the number three rod bearing very much, because every honda motor I have seen that thre a rod, it was always number three. Even my D15B2 engine that came in my CRX when I bought her, threw the number three rod on the way home ( I still drove it home that way - I was planning on yanking the engine anyway-LOL). Sorry to hear about the problems but it seems to be a common occurence. Good luck....
