Description of the problem | The valves rattle in the engine. When they rattle i check the oil level and it's fine. I found out... By no other choice.... That if i get on the interstate (causing the rpm's to go up) for a few miles, and then exit the interstate the valves stop rattling. Everyone i talk to says that they don't know what the problem is. I have looked for honda support everywhere! Dealers can't even help! Now i think i am just going to join a group that's planning a class-action lawsuit! Maybe mr. Honda can fix the problem then! If not i will use the money from the lawsuit to buy a chevy... Or dodge! Anything but another honda!. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis***768317 |
