I didn't. I'm starting to keep a "log" (mentally) of it. I know if it's using oil it's gonna be rings
but if it's only leaking down it's going to be a valve cover. Since valve cover gasket is cheap, gonna try to get that done this weekend.
If it comes down to needing a rebuild, I'm gonna find a d15z1, or at least find out if it'll fit
Just beginning my Honda journey. Only previous experience is owning a 2000 Accord a few years ago, and paying to have the engine replaced. I'm ready to tackle this sort of thing myself now (more resources).
I should probably replace the plug wires to be on the safe side. Maintenance history on those is unknown. They appear to be in good shape though.
It has a hot start problem if you touch the gas pedal at all while hitting the starter. Let it sit for a bit, and it starts first crank. That's about all I know to report right now.
