1 Engine Noise problem of the 1998 Acura SLX

Failure Date: 05/04/2006

My 1998 Acura Slx, with 122,000 miles, requires a new engine. The car developed a loud slapping noise and was diagnosed by 2 mechanics as a broken piston skirt. I was told that this is a common issue with these cars - a result of a mismatch between the isuzu engine and the Acura transmission.
