well honda engineers ain't dumb... they mark all their nuts and bolts with red/orange dots. so if i put them back on then its clear that i have tampered with it and they would probably accuse me or something else.

and nope insurance won't cover it either since its mechanical damage. cos technically its not an 'accident'. but if a tree had fallen down on my car then the engine blew up then u can claim it. oh the irony...
