It's true they do not last long due to the stroke of the crank, suggestion buy it for less money too expensive, maybe then you can reesleve the block or at least put a block sleeve. Do not rev the engine beyond 7600 rpm with out changing the timing belt for stronger one and a better oil pump, not even then keep it below the 8ooo rpm. Do the research see if it's better to just purchase a stock civic then built it to what you would like.
