I doubt you will ever need to. Put it this way, unless you have been screwing around with your engine your car will have rusted to bits long before your engine gives out

Use the car as much as you can (service it) and the engine will go forever

as long as you don't get oil pump failure

For saying that you are going to break down on the way home

Richy did my A7 conversion at PAW. He used the prelude intake manifold, distributor and I think he removed the oil pump TDC sensor. Other than that I think that was it. If you also fit the ATR LSD gearbox then you need to bypass/loop the PS pipes because you must use the ATR VSS with this gearbox.

Not true.
I'm running ATR box with preludes VSS sensor. The only thing you have to do is swaping gears betwen preludes and ATRs sensors and all working fine. Other option is swaping all PAS system from Accord

^ agree. That is the only way to make it work. Swapping the tiny gears over without breakage is supposed to be quite difficult...I think we took the easy option.

I first swapped the gears between the VSS, but it worked only for a while. The smarter way to swap the gear ring on the differential inside the gearbox that run the VSS. Running ATR VSS gear gets the wrong data to the speedo, due to OEM tire differences- 215/45/17 vs 205/55/15.
