The tech did rev it a bit at cold start, but I don't think that was enough to bend a rod. The rod is already bent at this point from the sound of your engine. He mentioned about flooring it and the RPM's only going to a certain point, which does happen when you have TSP's stage 1 tune which has launch control. Are you tuned at all? Also, what dashcam are you using?
When you cold start a honda i believe it automatically limits rpm to like 4k plus misfire may be preventing to rev all the way.
I redline in first gear at 6500rpm and after that, my motor made a rattling noise which increases as engine rev up. After two months of daily, the rod and piston finally gave up blowing a hole. Upon opening up the motor, intake valve was hit and piston shattered where the intake valve hit. The piston ring could clearly be seen from the impact with a big chunk of piston flying around. Surprised it lasted two months like that.
Redlining in 1st gear surely shouldn’t cause any damage. The rev limiter is there to prevent damage like this from happening. Unless your talking a miss shift where the rev limiter doesn't help then I'm not sure how that could’ve occurred.
Well, it happened. It’s more like the term “the ball tell no lies” when scoring points. I’m not sure how long the debris been there from the piston, but the valve was definitely bent from rev limiter in first gear which I think caused the crack and ultimately shattered when it blew a hole. I was throwing knock control over .90 just an hour of its final life and throwing bluesmoke just the day before.
This doesn't look like something that pegging it at 6500rpm in first would cause unless the engine had a defect. Did you moneyshift? That is, downshift into too low of a gear at speed?
Yeah iv heard but nobody from the dealership has mentioned anything about getting a code they just suspect its a miss shift so therefore they're denying my warranty claim?
