Default engine problems when vortech installed

when I was done installing the vortech charger I went for a drive came back and there it was
a strainge noize inside the engine !!!!
It sounded like there was a bag of marbles inside the engine so i reinstalled the charger and
called honda assistence they came and took the car and ripped it apart .
There it was the last (4th) cilinder it had some spell on it
I called my dealer how it went
the engine is going back to japan and they given me a new one but now is my question
if i shall install the charger again will it happen again
I also got some good advice from a good frend he's saying that the car was called back
for a spark plug and oil jet bold recall but could that be the problem that caused this failure?
its a new car only 7 months young can someone help me I want to drive as soon as possible
again with the charger
oo in 6th gear it looked like he needed some more feul.

No reports of a SC causing the #4 problem (it happens on stock engines) but I would guess you want to wait until all is right with the new engine and it is broken-in before trying it again.

This means to run the engine without over stressing it for a few hundred miles like it says your owner's manual. No rpms above 5500 rpm for about 600 miles, vary your engine speeds up to that limit. In other words, don't drive the car hard till it is "broken in".
When you get your new engine, you need to have it "broken in" also.
Hopefully, in this forum, more knowledgeable people will see your post and post replies. Good Luck!
