I own a 97 Civic EX 4 door. Now, I have 82,000 km on it. The engine

goes away when the engine is warm. I took it to a local dealership.
They have adjusted the valves clearance but that did not help. The
verdict from the dealership was the rod bearing inside the engine has
been damaged and it is not replaceable unless I replace the whole engine.
A Honda engine shouldn't break at 82,000 km. I would consider to
replace the engine if I had 182,000 km on it.
Does anyone have similar problem before? Any advice?

Lol this is an OLD post. I thought it humorous to mention my 97 Civic is pushing 350,000 miles. All still OEM equipment. The Pistons started cold start kackling years ago. Still runs great. I think the tranny will fail before the engine does! 6th gen.
Hondas don't die, they turn geriatric and no one wants them any more. :-(
