I had a set in my 03 Civic and they fouled out after about 25k miles, and caused a misfire, by the time I got my car home the rings were fried. Kind of my fault for driving on them, and not checking the gap, but I am younger and learn from my mistakes. I am still working on getting a motor, and hopefully a manual trans swap to replace the bad motor in the car. It is bad when your car burns a quart of oil ever 150 miles and hits 160-80-60-80 for compression results. Who knows maybe it will just be a headgasket when I tear into it?
