What a pointless thread... Go to the wreckers and pick up a second hand engine for like under 2k.. get a mechanic to install it.. 800-1000.. and done.

"Extremely hard life" ... smells like bull. My last car had an extremely hard life.. and it was a barely serviced Kia engine... stull runs after 160,000 kms...
Meh... i think the thread poster isn't even reading this... he said he'd have it fixed soon anyway.
oh yes because he was dirty and didnt wash his car they shouldnt replace his engine. come on.
but the over filling of oil makes sense. why was it overfilled? and would that really cause an engine to malfunction?
yes it would cause the engine to malfunction
it would take more power to turn the crankshaft (engine appear to lose some power). however in extreme cases it may damage the seals and gasket etc.
but in bob san's case, i think the surplus oil was blown into the air intake manifold then it gets to cylinders together with the air. it gets burnt then causes the damage
and thats the issue i beleive.
the last service garage wasnt a honda dealer, so therefore they refuse to fix it under warranty
so, is it worth going back to the non honda garage and let them know?
where is bob san anyway? he seem disappeared~~
From his first thread yonks ago... it didn't sound like the garage/mechanic/workshop where he had his car serviced at first was willing to accept any responsibility for overfilling the oil.
Wow just read this whole thing.
Bob_san: what a douche-bag.
Disappointed: ROFL now I know mechanics are dumb but this is something else.
This thread makes me sad about the state of the world. Why are there so many idiots alive...
"I want a refund on this apple"
"But sir you've just returned the core..."
"HAVE GOOD WILL I WANT ANOTHER APPLE WAH WAH"
Modifying cars has risks, NEW cars in warranty even more so. This thread is a perfect example of how to act like a complete dickhead once it blows up in your face.
i reckon.. sue ur mechanic.. stop messing around with the honda dealer.. the mechanic overfilled ur car.. and this seems to be a major problem to ur engine blowing up.. talk to the mechanic. before u do any legal action.. =).. or illegal action.. jk..jk
what ended up happening to this guys car?!
