    If it isn't dogged out 163,000 isn't too bad for a Honda. The receptionist at my work has an eg with 650,000.

    And I know a guy who ricer drives his accord around and has it modded and it's still running with 235,000 on the odometer.

    to really know anything about your motor you want to do a leak down test and compression check .. If all checks well then keep what you have just take care of her ....
