So sad.....




Another look at the offending bolt:

Todays udate:
"so this morning’s update ……….. we’re up & running ! We’ve run the car in the workshop with no apparent sign of any issues & Richard has just completed a 2 mile road test in the car with no reported problems. We are currently going to let the engine cool down for 2/3 hours, re-inspect & then providing everything checks out, carry out a longer 10 mile ish road test this afternoon.

Still keeping my fingers crossed !"

Finally got confirmation:
"Everything fine as if nothing had happened"

A report has been sent to Honda UK along with pictures. Will await Honda's verdict.

I still can not believe that the engine didn't suffer some sort of damage, pure luck!
The Lude gods smiled on me for sure.

Wicked news!

Great news you're back up and running.

I'm sure the H22 is non-interference providing you're not in VTEC, so as long as everything is in adjustment then there should be no damage to the valves or pistons

I definitely hadn't engaged warp drive when the belt went. That's good news, felt certain it was an interference engine.

Good news!!!

Yep only interference on VTEC, I've seen a k20 chain snap on VTEC not pretty!

[Merlin]

Ooft I have never seen that happen before. Good to hear that I was fixable and hopefully you were not too much out of pocket.

[norks27]

OK, so how out of pocket am I???

Between the garage and Honda UK the bill has been sorted.
No bill.

Amazing! How often does that happen, especially that quickly?! Well done Honda UK!
