Did you have any symptoms before this happened?

Dude, that suks. Sorry to hear bout that. Was this related to the #4 spark plug problem? Did you have the recall preformed?

Recall was done. I am told that it could be from misshifting. They are taking the engine apart to-day.

I have 23,300 km on mine, and I'm close to Marco's build date also.

I have had none of these symptoms, although I have thought the idle was a bit rough a few times when it was really hot out.

The thing that concerns me is cylinder #4 I thought was the first to go if oil circulation is a problem from the lack of banjo bolt upgrades. This was a recall that Honda has refused to give to North America but did give to other countries on the other side of the pond.

Please keep us informed, and good luck!

Damn, this does sound a lot like the oil bolt problem... time to put another call into Honda....

Someone correct me on this if I am wrong, but I do not think there is ANY way this could be due to a mis-shift. All cylinders would be affected...watch out Vijay, I smell a rat on this call....

a mis-shift will not ALWAYS affect ALL cylinders.....too many variables.....too many things going on....

various experiences on this board would substantiate this....
