FF>WU>Back when I went to school, racing other classmates in getting a piston
FF>WU>out of a 350 took me twenty three minutes using air tools.  On an
FF>WU>Integra, it only takes about fifteen or so.  Several parts on the
FF>WU>Integra motor will last a lifetime...such as the water pump, oil pump,
FF>WU>etc.  Heck...even the radiator hoses will last 10 years plus!  Now tell
FF>WU>me that you've seen that happen regularly on a Chevy!  Performing
FF>WU>routine maintanance is also easier on an Integra...except for the timing
FF>WU>belt.  Spark Plugs are right on top.  The distributor is right on
FF>WU>top...dip sticks are all right in front.  The oil filter is easily
FF>WU>accessible under the car...

Mine took longer becuase I let the oil drain out of the pan...plus when
it comes to heat, I'm the world's biggest wus!  We tore these down right
after we fired them up...so...you know. =)
