I read through all of the posts in the Rate area Service dealers, and came to no conclusion. So i'm going to make a new post. My MY2001 (its one right in the middle of the bad #4 cyl batch of engines) is making a slight knocking sound. It resembles the sound that an older Small Block Chevy made when the water pump would go bad (I used to be a mechanic in a past life)
I usually take my S to Leesburg Honda, but they don't seem to have much expertise with the car. I work in Tyson's, but there seems to be a mixed bag of reviews on Rosenthal.
Any opinions on who would be the best in the area? Did anybody get a new small block replaced at any NoVa dealers? I did read Barry's post on #4 failures, it seems that only one was replaced at the College Park, MD dealer.

And Please do not reply about sales experiences., I don't want to hear sales experiences. I can go on about Leesburg Honda and Toyota, and Brown Fairfax nissan etc sales dealings stories.

Thanks for any help.

If you can handle the drive (not sure how far from where you live ), no one seems to beat Eddie's experience at Jim Coleman Honda .

PM andyp for more information .

Thanks Dave. I'm about 66 miles from Coleman. They might be a good last resort if nobody in the immediate NoVA area can help.

 

dsvtec - Are you still under warranty? Either way, give Cliff a call. He's the service advisor that'll link you with Eddie. Just tell him your situation and you can bring it in and speak directly with the S2K Doc.

I think Eddie will be busy all week though, but give Cliff a call anyway.

See you soon.

I'm dropping off the car on Monday night for Eddie to check out.
Thanks W1ngman and Andy.
