As long as you periodically replace just these four items—the three rubber rings, the rotor, the cap, and the oil seal on the part that inserts into the engine—you can use it for a long time.
It is difficult to check the lifespan of this by the period of use; you need to look at the wear. I forgot to take a picture of the internal metal part, but it’s the wear on that part and the wear on the metal part of the rotor.
It is designed to wear down little by little, so it is a consumable item. If you replace it about every 3 years, you can reduce the burden on the igniter. A genuine new igniter currently costs about 27,000 yen. Chinese-made ones are sold for around 4,000 yen. Basically, there is no warranty, and you cannot return them if there is a defect after installation.
I wonder if eBay has seller protection or something? I am not really sure.
On Yahoo! Auctions and Mercari, rebuilds using Chinese-made caps, rotors, and igniters are popular because they offer large profit margins.
If there are no details about replacement parts in the description, you might want to be suspicious.
I requested a rebuild to fix oil leakage at the mounting part, abnormal noise from the internal bearings, wear on the cap, rotor, and cap, and to replace the igniter. The estimate was around 19,000 yen, I think.
Specialized companies like this purchase parts in large quantities at low prices from Honda and other suppliers, so replacing everything altogether ends up being cheaper.
The igniter originally seemed fine, but as the cap and rotor wear out, thermal runaway causes issues, so I had it replaced with a new one this time as a preventive measure. The igniter unit itself can also be repaired, and you can request this as part of the bundled service. However, since the inspection requires specialized equipment, it is best to leave it to the professionals.
I often hand over two of these rings as spares because oil leaks from here are common. Especially with people from overseas, many forcefully remove them and scratch them, so I prepare two.
Since you cannot basically get rebuilt items from specialized companies recognized by dealerships through B2B transactions on places like eBay, I will handle requests if there are any.
I recently resumed selling on eBay as well, but my current dilemma is that I cannot compete with Chinese-made rebuilds on price.
However, with direct transactions, there are no eBay fees, so I can make it a little cheaper.
Regarding the specific amount, when selling overseas, considering shipping costs for a core trade-in, it is cheaper to handle it with a domestic used part. Since a used part is 6,000 to 12,000 yen and a rebuild is 19,000 yen, at the time of writing this article, depending on the trade-in, a rebuilt item can be done for around 32,000 yen, and the remaining costs required are international shipping and a 25% import tax. For shipping costs, please refer to the EMS pricing on the Japan Post website.
We can make it cheaper than what is sold on eBay.
If you let me know the model code, I can also handle other vehicles.
