Used to safety-wire the motorcycles all the time. You never know what you'll lose 10 miles away from any tools, in the middle of nowhere. I used baling wire.

this is a very difficult question to answer.

the extra warranty sounds fair, but there should also be some amount of monetary compensation for the increased wear/unnoticeable damage that occurred. maybe that could be in the form of an extra year or 10,000 miles of warranty.

also, it is my opinion that if you really loved your S, you wouldn't let a Honda dealership work on it.

 

I'm going to guess that is a Pro-Bolt Titanium Sump Bolt Magnetic M14 x (1.50mm) x 12mm ?

 

Good guess, all correct apart from I got it from here https://raceboltuk.com/ titanium and magnetic

 

Strongly concur!

 

Generally I agree. Not always. My local dealer has a good service department.

 

Dealer owes you a motor, plain and simple. If they say no, offer them the chance to inspect all the bearing surfaces, which will cost them as much as a motor.

 

Replacement engine will destroy the residual value of the car.

another option would be...keep the replacement motor in a crate and drive the car as is until this one fails...

 

Replacement motor won't make any difference in value.
