Also if a northstar ever overheats game over if it blows a head gasket you looking at big bucks to get it fixed and a small chance the repair will last. The starter is under the intake manifold. The notorious oil leak. The non replaceable head studs. Garbage motor.

Man get a 94-99 accord 4cyl or a 93-01 civic with a million miles and do a JDM swap CHEAP. It will have 30kmi or so and you can also pick up a trans for nothing from these guys.
We needed a 4 door so I got on CL bought a 95 accord 4cyl manual and I swapped the single overhead non-vtec motor with a JDM H22A prelude motor and now this little bastard will run with a gt stang on the highway and has 4 doors and gets 30mpg when Im not beating on it.
Car 425 blown w/blown headgasket
JDM H22 w/ broken valve cover 700
Valve cover from local tuner shot 50
P13 ECU to run it 75
Car that runs 14s w/good mpgs and 4 doors Priceless
