The main bearings in my motor spun and are scored, this resulted in loss of oil pressure to the crankshaft and bearing journals. Due to this loss of pressure the engine block,crankshaft,journals, and main bearings are ruined. The top half of my motor is fine including the dual overhead cam,pistons,valves,lifters,connecting rods,etc. I heard of a recall of mid 1990 Honda engines recently for some sort of throwout bearing or rod bearing failure that causes the engine to lose oil pressure causing severe wear like what I am experiencing. The costs of repair of my vehicle are great and it is nearly impossible to find a replacement motor. I'm hoping to get help from Honda for repairs and am looking to you to find out if I'm elligable. Thank you very much, sean.
