Re: Alternators
at the time, $35 US was about $95 canadian.... lol
Also, just a note, that the failure mode I listed had a noticeable whine
before it failed for quite some time. Only upon disassembly did I discover
that the stator was beyond repair...

maybe next time your car tries to tell you something you should listen to
it, putting new bearings in the alternator is fairly easy and costs less
than a whole new alternator.

Here is my experience with Honda alternators:
'74 Civic 70K sold with original alternator still operational.
'80 Accord 85K sold with original alternator still operational.
'86 Integra 115K sold with original alternator still operational.
'94 Integra GS-R 161K still running on original alternator
'98 Odyssey 85K still running on original alternator
In 33 years of Honda ownership I have never replaced an alternator.
YMMV.

Re: Alternators
By the time the noise was noticeable it was too late. The whine was the
stator being eaten away.
