Modern engines don't "break in" like older engines. The power on the FL5 is never going to improve no matter how many miles it has on it.

The same thing as my above comment about track times applies to the drag race from a stop. The FK8 had worn-out OEM tires, which are not good when new. And really bad when worn out and the ambient temperature is low as it was when this video was recorded. Unless the FK8 has a fair shot with...

There is a 0% chance that the FL5 is 1 second faster per lap than the FK8 in a meaningful comparison. Especially on a track with a sub-75 second lap time. The FK8 in that video has worn-out OEM Continental tires, they said so right in the video. The OEMs aren't very good when new, they are junk...

Michelin already makes a 275/30R19 in P4S. Just put those on it.

Under what conditions?

Have you seen a P4S crack in the cold?

All street Are those dampers electronically variable like the CTR? The variable part is what has deteriorated the most. Mine still work, they just don't have the aggressive mode when you go into +R. Most people not knowing the CTR would get in the car, in Comfort mode, and think it was a very...

I had a 2018, drove it to 43k. Then I traded it for a 2019 at the beginning of Covid, when the dealerships were scared they were going to be stuck with cars and making killer deals (imagine that now). I now have 73k on the 2019. Not the same years as you are talking about, but I do have more...

The ECU does not sense the octane. It has no capability to do that task.

How long a tank of gas is totally dependent on how much you drive. I fill up 2-3 times a week.

+R uses the rear brakes heavily for torque vectoring. That can significantly accelerate the rear pad wear.

Do you ride around in +R mode all the time?

Hawk says the 5.0 are low-dust, which almost guarantees they will be less aggressive. And claim they have "great rotor & pad wear" another likely pointer to less aggressive. So I wasn't expecting them to have more bite, not by reading the descriptions. I think they actually did a good job not...

I just replaced all the pads with Hawk Street 5.0 and new front OEM rotors on my 2019 at a lttle under 70K miles. The pads are a little less aggressive on bite. They still have plenty of bite, it is just that they are less sensitive and require a little more brake pressure. I prefer the more...

Is there any specific evidence of running lean on #1 or any other cylinders?

This is not really extreme damage for a rod failure. About average for a failure at high RPM. I have seen worse. Far worse.

Unless you are disputing the OP's original story, and in essence calling them a liar, your actions here dispute your claim on your standard response when refunds are requested. PS: If the responses on this thread are the best you came come up with when a customer claims your practices are...

This post says so much about you, at so many levels, that I don't really know what else I could add.

Dude, did you not pay attention to the video? This engine was a warranty claim from a Honda dealership. A Honda technician disassembled the top end to do a warranty claim inspection, then half-ass reassembled it. The tape was stuck to the head gasket when the tech put it back together. Go...

What is stuck on that head gasket is a piece of box tape. It has nothing to do with plastic in the oil system. It is not even in the oil system.
