it has some end play and im going to order a kit to rebuild it, my question is what causes all the wear on the bearings, i bought it used with "only" 1000 miles on it(hmmmmmmmmm). but really tho, the greddy kits for civics havent been around long enough to put a 100k miles on it. i dont have a bov , would that cause added stress on the bearings? oh by the way its the sohc kit and i put it on a 97 ex , god i love fi!
