  Q: What factors should be considered when determining if an engine needs a complete overhaul on Honda Del Sol?

  A: Calculating when an engine requires a full overhaul is not really about the number of miles on the ticker, as it as many other aspects, high mileage doesn't necessarily mean the overhaul is needed, whereas low mileage doesn't really mean the overhaul is unnecessary either. Frequency of servicing is important; an engine that has been supplied with fresh oil and new filters, or had other routine checks, should give good service for many thousands of miles; a neglected engine may need a rebuild early in its life. The notices that can suggest an overhaul include high oil consumption, lack of power, rough running, noises such as knocking and high fuel consumption rates more so if symptoms are many. A rebuild is as close to an entirely new engine as could be detailed and involves replacement of Piston Rings, cylinder reboring, replacement of main, Connecting Rod and camshaft bearings, reground Crankshafts, resized connecting rods to ensure correct fit and correct oil clearances. This is the usual time when valves are serviced while other parts such as the starter and alternator can be rebuilt. Main critical cooling system parts need to be replaced and the radiator should to be cleared in case of blocks or need to be repaired in the case of leakage. Before launching the change, it is advisable to read the work's specifications and demands since the process is rather extensive, which takes at least two weeks or more if some components must be delivered to a machinist. Parts and necessary tools should be checked before hand, and many operations should be done with ordinary hand tools, but with measuring specialties for inspection of parts. Before making the necessary repairs it is far better to wait for the teardown to be completed and all of its components assessed and examined so it is possible to decide whether the integrity of the Engine Block allows to improve the first engine or purchase a rebuilt. Huge importance should be paid to assembly process and the assembly must be conducted in clean environment in order to guarantee that the rebuilt engine will be long-lasting and very well-functioning.
