i just seized my motor a f20c 2002 with 27000 miles on it honda warranty dont want to pay for it so they said it would cost me about 8113.76 to put on everything so i asked the guy to show me what he is ordering so he showed me this

1. general cyclinder head
2. engine assembly block
3.gasket kit, cylinder head
4. 5 quarts motor oil 10w30
5. coolant type 2 blue
6. filter 2 oil
7. washer, drain 14mm
8. fluids mt


what does this mean are they only replacing the long block or the who engine or are they rebuilding it . please help me and give me suggestions.

 

The engine can not be bought complete from Honda.

New block, new head, they will use accessories and hoses from your motor.

new motor comes with block, crank, rods, pistons, oil pump, all assembled. They will have to somewhat disassemble your old motor for front pieces like chain guides.

Head is over 3 grand, motor is over 2 grand. That price is about right.

 

Usually on a seized engine, the cyl head is ok. Make sure you get all the old parts back, as they are worth big money.

 

go pick up a used AP2 engine, there's one for sale in the for sale section for like half that....

 

why dont they want to fix it with only 27k miles on it

 

Any idea what caused it to seize?

 

I am guessing he is talking about factory warranty 3yrs or 36000 miles. He is out of 3 yrs.

 

i have honda care addition for drive train tilll 100,000 miles they said lack of lubrication but i have proff of all my oil changes but i think they saw my intake and said that voided the warranty but the engine seized going 20 miles per hour can i rebuild

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they gave you the cause (lack of lubrication) and then denied it due to an intake (speculation), they would have to prove that the intake caused the lack of lubrication in order to deny it.

 

they opened the motor and all they said it was lack of oil lubrication and thenm they were talking about my front lip intake saying that could viod my warranty so my dad sueing honda dealer ship for kicking my dad out of the department but i want to fix my car i haven drovsice august so what should i do and what do i need jsut the long block they have told me that i didnt mess that motor up completely is there any online store sell good motor
