Default how long will the s2k engine last?

i have a 2000 model. how long will the s2k engine last? i have 91,000 on mine (daily driver, obviously). i know that it is probably not 91k "true" miles(because of the speedometer offset), but i'm sure it's close enough. the car still drives very well, and i don't see any problems with it...but i'm a little worried because i still owe a bunch of money on it, and i could use some encouraging info or data on the longevity of the s2k engine. any feedback would be greatly appriciated.
i would think the engine could last up to 300k, if properly taken care of, even w/ the standard abuse on the car.

i've been thinking about a second car, but i don't really want one, but i feel like i have to buy one to conserve my car. i would rather drive my car everywhere, though.

You owe "a bunch of money" on a car with 91k miles?

Can you say, "Upside down?"

How long will an S last? Depends...In my case, not long at all, around 37K miles then gave out. But still awaiting for the final finding of cause. For others, it may last a long, long time. No way to be sure!

I hope you realize that "Honda" will not answer you here.

I'm sure all Hondas are built to do this:


I wouldn't worry too much.
