My s2000 stopped on the freeway, and it would not start. So i took it to a mechanic and he ended up taking of the head. He opened it up today and i went to the shop and the head head a couple of bent valves, and the pistions were burned, and the block was cracked. he also drained the engine, and coolant came out first then some oil. He told me I am going to need a new engine. What should I do? Do you think Honda would replace the engine, because this was so unexpected? Any feedback would help Thanks.

 

if it was under warranty.. you prob should have taken it straight to honda. just to see what they could do.

 

Honda probably will not replace the engine, and I only say this because this is my second Honda and the company always looks for ways to get out of situations like this. Unless your car is newer and has an exisiting warranty...you're probably looking at purchasing a new (or newer) engine. What year is your car? Mileage?

 

Wow. How fast/hard were you running your engine before this happened? Any mods on the car?

There's some important information missing from the original post...

 

 

There is definitely some vital information missing- we don't know anything about this situation. OP- please come back and fill in the blanks.
1. What is the year model of the car?
2. How many miles does it have on it?
3. Is the car modified in any way?
4. What is your typical driving style? (be honest, the shyt has already hit the fan...)
5. Any other relevant information?
6. Why are you 5 days old and having this kind of problem?
7. Are you a troll?

 

also says he does not own a s2k??
friend had this happen???

 

I am thinking this guy has OCD and was diagnosed in 2003.
or is that he has to open and close the doors 3 times or is it 23 times.
so many variables.
also under profile it says he has a MY 2000
I am confused.
