| Description of the problem | October 2005 - low compression, burned valves. Head machined, valves replaced. Only 82,000 miles. Complained to honda and they reimbursed me for the parts & labor, almost $1,500. Fast forward to february 2008. Same failure, same valves, 162,000 miles. Cost now is $4,000 because the head can't be machined a second time. Dealer stated honda recommends valves be adjusted every 30,000 miles. Owner's manual contradicts that - inspect/adjust valves only if noisy and at 105,000 miles. Because the valves get tight, they don't get noisy. Honda is aware of this problem and has a responsibility to repair/replace the defective head assembly. |
