2000 Honda crv - valve seat problem involving necessary head replacement. This is a known defect affecting a large percentage of models produced. The metal used to manufacture the head is apparently too soft of a compound to withstand the engine temperatures. I can not find a recall and have not been notified by Honda or advised of such by the dealer. The vehicle was in four months ago and I was not informed of any potential problem nor were any corrective measures implemented.
: the contact stated while driving 35mph, the check engine lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop for inspection. The mechanic determined one of the valves in the engine would need replaced. The valve was replaced due to loss of compression.
October 2005 - low compression, burned valves. Head machined, valves replaced. Only 82,000 miles. Complained to Honda and they reimbursed me for the parts & labor, almost $1,500. Fast forward to February 2008. Same failure, same valves, 162,000 miles. Cost now is $4,000 because the head can't be machined a second time. Dealer stated Honda recommends valves be adjusted every 30,000 miles. Owner's manual contradicts that - inspect/adjust valves only if noisy and at 105,000 miles. Because the valves get tight, they don't get noisy. Honda is aware of this problem and has a responsibility to repair/replace the defective head assembly.
Engine dip stick and sleeve have disconnect itself from the engine while driving,. Dealer and the manufacturer were notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
