  1. I was thinking that too but it would seem that there would still be pockets of sludge somewhere under the valve cover. I'm wondering if the engine is that clean because of the oil dilution issues Honda has been having. Gasoline cleans metal extremely well.

  2. Yeah there's a class action lawsuit with the Honda 1.5 liters due to oil dilution issues. The small engine combined with the turbo is creating too much pressure and blowing unburnt fuel past the rings into the oil. This dilutes the oil which then allows the rings to tear up the cylinder walls

  3. Eric, do you think Hondas's oil dilution issues could have anything to do with the top half of this engine looking so clean, gasoline cleans extremely well, honest question? I know their class action lawsuit is dealing with mainly the 1.5 liter engines but those oil rings being stuck kinda makes one think. Thanks for another great video and im excited to see the update on your home garage/studio!

  4. My buddy had one of those cars, excellent vehicles! I've owned two different 7th generation Accords and both were excellent cars. Unfortunately, both were totalled by other people. What bothers me about all of these automobile manufacturers is they've kinda forgot who they make their products for! Some of us consumers actually like driving cars that have powerful engines, but you wouldn't know this by looking at the modern engines that are being produced. The new Honda 1.5 "earth dreams" engines are horrible in comparison to the K series. So much so that Honda had to remove the "earth dreams" badge because consumers were not buying them.

  5. Smell your dipstick every once and awhile, there's a huge class action lawsuit that Honda is dealing with because of oil dilution that nobody seems to be talking about. It mainly pertains to the 1.5 liter turbos though.

  6. Does the overheat affect the rings?

  7. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, I guess.

  8. I know that Honda is dealing with a pretty big class action lawsuit because of oil dilution that noone seems to want to talk about. However that is dealing mostly with the 1.5 liter turbo engines. The engine size combined with the turbo is blowing unburnt gas past the rings, diluting the oil. This is causing unnecessary wear on the cylinder walls and bearings.

  9. @gwbuilder5779  so oil dilution could not wash the rings to the point to where they become stuck? Could the excess heat caused by oil dilution cause the oil ring to seize up in its landing??

  10. The Honda class action oil dilution lawsuit may have something to do with it also.

  11. @oluskloc  oil dilution could clean off those surfaces.
