guess I need to try and find a low mile "spare" to keep for a rainy day then! Can't have an AP1 and not be able to go to 9k, that would just be wrong. Thanks for the knowledge

Well, it's been almost ten years since they stopped selling that engine in a car in the US.

I wonder if Honda owners are getting screwed a bit. Okay. With previous aging cars like the Prelude, and the famous NSX, has Honda ceased production on these engines as well? If so, aside from buying a used block now, will companies on this forum offer refresh options or rebuild options as they do for the NSX?

sorry to change te thread, was over hearing about my constant concern of oil burn. would it be sufficient or even matter/harm the 2.2 with a higher oul grade change, possibly 0W-40?

I'm thinking about investing in a AP2V1 short block. How much space does the crate take up?

The crate is card board, it can fit in the back seat of a mid sized car.

I just grabbed the last AP1 bare block.
