Fair enough I guess (although you are going to get stuck with labour costs etc, a new engine is going to be way better than an old engine repaired). What labour are you looking at (

I'm going to call this afternoon to check on the oil they will use in the new engine. Mineral, right?

semi synthetic is what is recommended for a whole new engine with an additional molydenum additive. that is what honda technical told me after my garage filled it with fully synthetic. i have some additive in my car now if you need a part number.

are you getting a whole new engine or just a short block?

that is a serious result from honda UK. Congratulations. shame it blew up in the first place though.

I'll talk to the garage first about the additive, I think they know the S2k well....

They have told me I'm getting a whole new engine!

Amazing result!
