Why is everyone thinking that the cel would come on when the bearing spins? There are no rod bearing sensors LOL
And if the oil light is on (below 5psi with the factory pressure switch) the engine is already screwed
The bearings are what create oil pressure, if pressure drops the bearing is already toast.
It shouldn't be called an oil indicator it should be an engine replacement indicator.

Yeah if the other bearing keep pressure above 5psi it won't even come on
Even with a dropped valve what code would it throw? No dropped valve code on any honda i have owned haha

Yeah that makes sense but it's just the knock sensor picking up noise from the pistons hitting the valves
The knock sensor certainly isn't meant to detect dropped valves lol
It may not have come on because the rod bearings spinning wouldn't make the same frequency sound as the valves hitting, the knock sensor only picks up a specific band of sounds.
Either way what it boils down to is that nobody should depend on the cel or oil light to see if the motor is in trouble if you're questioning it, it's probably bad. Shut it down an tow it home!
