How in the world....?! The yellow mark indicates to me there was a nut there previously; I know mine has the yellow mark on the mount/nut combo.

Purchase the appropriate nuts from Honda and torque those babies down!

Seems like you have to take it into a dealership to make sure the problem is recorded.. might be some damage apparent later from engine movement. Just looks like you need some nuts on there.. I wonder who loosened them.. another sparkplug deal with things backing out with vibration??

Holy SHEYAT!!



I would bolt it down NOW and make sure that Honda knows about it in case there are issues that arise later!

Yikes!

Any shavings around that area? It had to be twisting on the bolt, I would think.
