I once had a '96. Great car but non VTEC. Blew the head gasket about 16 years ago and that was the end of that.
Shame, the head gasket is actually super serviceable in that car.
A lot of cars in the 90's have pretty serviceable head gaskets, I had to change the two of them on my subaru forester, and if you're experienced in the process it's a rather quick fix since you dont need to lift the engine
I have a 96 as well. VTEC. Has a warped head I think. Never had the money to get it fixed properly. So much heat tape holding the exhaust together... Makes me sad.
