Hi Guys, Thank you for the very informative responses. I really do appreciate it. The car is actually in really nice condition for the age. No rust problems. Just Engine problems. My mechanic has had the engine inspected. I have managed to source a brand new cam shaft from further down the country for a good price. But will need the rocker arms rebuilt as well as the guide seal, as I can't find the parts new. I would put a newer type easier to maintain engine in this but it isn't my car. So just trying to sort it out for the girlfriend as best as possible. ( she doesn't have a big budget) If it was my car I would learn how to rebuild the engine my self. But she needs to use it. And that would take it off the road for months. That site you linked to has some great information thanks! Such a informative and welcoming community here!

Discuss Hi guys. My girlfriend owns the above car. But we are having problems with the engine. I have been told it needs; new cam shaft , Rocker arms and guide seals. Are there any old school Honda geeks out there that can tell me what other Hondas shared the same engine or parts... The engine is sounding pretty sick and we would like to get those parts replaced. But sourcing them is another story. It is a 1300 cc. I know it is also the same as a Triumph Acclaim, and Honda Ballade in some countries but those are even harder to find parts for. :S Here is a pic of le engine bay, if it helps jog any memories.
