| Description of the problem | Hello i have a 1999 honda crv.. I have 102k on my car. I have had taken my car to a repair shop (hondapro) and they told me that particular engine has had problems specifically with the valves overtightening and causing the head to need to be replaced. No symptoms accrue then the cel comes on with codes of misfire, by that time its too late. Burnt and cracked valves are a common problem with this car. I have read several forums that has other owners of the honda crv that has had the same problem and had to replace the head that costs the consumer at least between 3-5k to fix the problem. I have already replaced the valves on mine once at about 87,327 miles. I don't think that the engine head is a good one when its only been less that 15k miles and the problems come back. I hope something can get done about this head problem. Thank you. |
