Heck no! I don’t document stuff very well, as I never had to. Honda’s come out looking barely touched after 200k, but I always replace the bearings for good measure, so all I do is inspect them to ensure the crank is OK and quickly toss.

Don't have the full pics yet, but just swapped my bearings with MRF @ 117.5K and the #7 bearing was absolutely trashed and was hard to get off. Dodged a bullet for sure.

What were your OCIs and oil of choice?

5,000 usually (though sometimes as long as 10,000, I'm not perfect, but 75%+ were 5k), and either LiquiMoly or Castrol when the former wasn't available (although some Motul snuck in there as well once or twice).

Fatal, Any theories as to why that one bearing was making so much contact compared to the rest. Is it more than just oil starvation? Excessively minimal clearance? A one off?

But that's just a guess. Not sure why that one bearing was ass. Glad it's lying on a table in his shop and not in my engine, that's for sure. |

AFAIK the rod side usually gets it worse than the cap side because the rod side takes cylinder pressure plus the piston changing direction.

Tolerance stack. Pretty simple explanation.

Can driving through a puddle then car stall cause knocking issue? It happened to my car and I managed to get it started again. But I hear this noise which I'm not sure where it's coming from.
Also the car felt a bit more sluggish on the throttle after stalling. Wonder if any water may have gotten in Thanks Last edited by ckang008; 09-12-2020 at 05:50 AM.. |

Based on what you've described and the video you posted, there is water in it. The only question is how much. Do not start it again for any reason short of a last-ditch effort to escape injury or death. You're lucky your engine didn't grenade (look up hydrolock -- it ain't pretty). You'll be much luckier if there's no other discernible damage. At a bare minimum, the oil must be changed immediately. If this is happening at a shop, the car must be towed there. If the engine runs well enough after an oil change (no/fewer abnormal noises or smoke from the tailpipes), idle it up to temp and watch for signs of trouble. If all is well, change the oil again, and repeat that process until the oil comes out clear. Then, for the next few hundred miles, drive mildly with no short trips or extended idling, and then change the oil again. If the noises continue and/or there's smoke from the tailpipes, it's teardown time. Speaking from experience here. Thankfully it was with a different car with a less expensive engine. Good luck! |

ckang do not start that engine again. That level of noise is causing damage. I would say water ingestion, usually they hydrolock and things grenade. You may have bent a rod, either way running it is not helping.

Thanks Iamfodi and tx for the reply. Im going to have someone tow the car away. Will it be better if I go back to Official dealership to get this fixed or any 3rd party mechanic can get this sorted? Thanks

The only 3rd party I’d trust is one that specializes in these cars.

Btw I'm still on my original rod bearings. Was wondering if it will be also a good time to get 3rd party bearings too since probably there's more work to be done

Dealer's only gonna put original style bearings back in at a truly exorbitant cost which means you'll be doing it again soon enough, so probably get a place that actually does aftermarket RB replacement to do so.

Saw these in person on Monday while I was getting mine done and remember how bad #7 looked. Glad you caught it!

3RD owner. 2 Previous owners were mature older lawyers who never tracked and dealer maintained for tax write off purposes. Shop didn't take a pic of bearings in order to cylinders and handed me them in a box. So they are ordered randomly. Motor mounts were done. Previous owner stated no winter driving but only owned the car for 2 years.

If your engine stalled, it needs to be inspected. Typically hydrolock is covered by insurance here. Good luck.

Looks like bad news. They said the valve most likely bent. Told me either to replace the engine or they will disassemble it and replace whatever parts broken. It's my first year driving the car and I'm planning to sell it after fixing it given this car has less than 30000km on it and frankly need a taller car to go through the frequently flooded roads in China where I'm taking it as daily. The water level that I went through this time is barely anything compqre to China roads. Will it be better to fix it up the current engine and resell it? . Prob just redo rod bearings too to give it more selling point if go with fixing engine route thanks
