Honda Civic 95, reducing oil in very short time, smoke emission-Change of engine or mechanics can work. Honda workshop says, engine needs to be changed or compoents (rings, piston etc) to be changed. Plz adivse and estimed cost of each option.
I think it would be better if you swapped the engine. You could put a nice EFI VTEC engine in the car, and even have some CNG on an engine that would give you better power and mileage. The engine will drop in without a problem.
Cheers.
you dont have to change the engine unless you really know there is something bad with it...
honda engines can go for several hundred thousand KMs....what is the reading on your motor??? give me some history...like how frequent you changed the oil...other service updates, work done etc...and i may be able to give you some advice.

If this is the first time your engine has to be opened, then go for an overhaul. Otherwise if there is some problem with the engine block like cracks etc.. then go for engine replacement.
Swapping engines costs more, its better to overhall it ...
