  1. Are these cars actually reliable?

    Overheating and heat soaking are 2 different things imo

  2. Missed shift 3rd to 2nd with resulting added NVH

    Does the log show actual rpm? road speed was 65 max in 2nd? Not an issue

  3. STOLEN! A pain in the arse.

    Gone in 30 seconds nowadays

  4. Unexpected shoulder wear on front tires.

    Photo?

  5. Missed shift; Over Rev code

    Sorry I misinterpreted this

  6. Missed shift; Over Rev code

    Are you implying a money shift is covered under warranty?

  7. Unexpected shoulder wear on front tires.

    Assuming outside shoulder, is the car driven spiritedly or tracked?

  8. Missed shift; Over Rev code

    It would have been nice to plastigauge that one rod bearing and see where the tolerance lies in relation to the others. Cloudiness is bearing material smearing on the surface likely. Bearings are some what sacrificial in a way. Really hard to measure roundness insitu however.

  9. Missed shift; Over Rev code

    There was no piston valve contact? this is all being done out of pocket correct?

  10. Missed shift; Over Rev code

    Can we see the damaged bearing?

  11. Missed shift; Over Rev code

    Money shift is almost always an issue of improper hand position, but also a testament to their smooth gearboxes. Typically a cracked retainer in Hondas of yesteryear. edit: just curious, you never heard the noise before?

  12. Engine ran without oil for unknown period of time (short time) - Honda Dealership did not torque drain plug and it fell out while driving.

    That’s tough how it played out. Best of luck to you under that tough circumstance. Now the question is, does the dealer disclose the situation to the prospective buyer :/

  13. Engine ran without oil for unknown period of time (short time) - Honda Dealership did not torque drain plug and it fell out while driving.

    yea true about the oil changes, but will the OP start doing his own work now? Unlikely. the denial of warranty based on a tune will always be used by a dealer regardless of this issue happening or not. Nobody can prove anything either way. But if the dealer is saying the car ok (whatever that...

  14. Engine ran without oil for unknown period of time (short time) - Honda Dealership did not torque drain plug and it fell out while driving.

    If they are confident then, have them put it on paper and on file and whatever the longest warranty term. maybe free oil changes as well for life

  15. Engine ran without oil for unknown period of time (short time) - Honda Dealership did not torque drain plug and it fell out while driving.

    I get that you had to let them (it looks like they only took off the valve cover) and herein lies the question of what is normal looking. The thing is that taking off the cam caps doesn’t show you any surfaces that would be fed pressurized oil in the bottom end, which I believe to be under more...

  16. Engine ran without oil for unknown period of time (short time) - Honda Dealership did not torque drain plug and it fell out while driving.

    Shit happens, it will probably be ok but I definitely wouldn’t want them poking around and taking it apart, that would likely be more detrimental. Cut open the old filter if they still have it and look for bearing material. Can you get a 10 year warranty? I think or hope we all have those lying...

  17. FL5: Odd noise with front Resonator deleted and valve open.

    If always at a specific rpm, then you have described resonanace

  18. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    Who with this issue has verified correct clutch pedal free play adjustment? (Don’t rely on the dealer to do this) also turn off auto rev matching, learn how to drive the car. A clutch delay valve will cause pedal inconsistencies and lack feedback

  19. FL5 differential or gear issue

    Typically it is detrimental to the engine. On some Hondas in the past, it would lead to cracking of the valve stem retainers. Not sure if the ecu logs max rpm, but you can calculate rpm in gear if you know what road speed was. I would try to isolate where exactly noise is coming from. Verdict...

  20. Issues after Braided Brake Line install and Brake Bleed

    Air somewhere. Did you let the master get low? New copper washers? this is why checking pedal pressure after each corner helps pin point which corner the problem lies.
