......you took your car to honda to have a "knocking" sound checked out?
when they were done with their diagnostic, you were told that you have damaged cylinders and the cylinders would have to be bored out?
the honda tech told you to remove the coil one-by-one to isolate wich cylinder is the damaged one? you tried this but you were not able to isolate the damaged cylinder?
did the service writer explain to you what happened or what was wrong that damaged your cylnider wall that they needed to be bored out?
the mechanic that told you to remove the coils....was he the one that checked out your car or not? if he was, why didnt he just tell you witch cylinder was damaged?
did you happen to make a recording of youre conversation between you and the service writer that you can share with us?

i upluged the 2 can sensors on the back and i started the car and it made the regular cranking noise. So that means that my rod bearings are still good? what else could be making the noise? Or do i have to actually bore out my cylinders?
If it helps you I am not Joe blow back yard installer/tuner I am a shop owner and a engine builder.
It is your rod bearings or wrist pin ( If I had to choose one it would be the bearings) . Because there is no combustion to force the piston down to cause the noise .
You are wasting your time chasing noises from guesses , I am not guessing I am taking the info you gave me with experience from the past .
Pull the oil pan and see for yourself , I would put money on it if I knew there was a way to show you myself . I know this is not what you want to hear .
You have a PM .

One easy check is to remove the oil filter, cut it open and look for metal. You can get filter cutters from speed shops that allow you to cut the base off without filling it with debris from the cutting process. Wear leather gloves as its easy to slip on the oil and cut your hands open (been there done that).
If there is metal in the filter its time to pull the engine out.

If you use a saw it will fill the filter with debris from the cutting process.
If you use a filter cutter it wont leave any debris. The filter cutters are similar to a pipe cutter and use rolling blades to cut through the casing.
