Let me nip in the bud some of the replies I already see will be coming.
When you buy an engine or anything that has a warranty, it is a legally binding agreement.
Honda put in writing that they would tell me what went wrong with my engine within 30 days.
It really doesn't matter if it was over-reved, ran out of oil, had the wrong fuel or dropped off a bridge.
Wouldn't everyone agree that it is very important to know why your engine died so that you can correct it?
I never found out why my first engine died. And as long as I'm buying engines, Honda doesn't care why they died. All I got out of the guy was, he said it's usually oil related. Which is why I bought more expensive synthetic oil and increase my change intervals on my second engine. No one has put a wrench to either of my engines.
Like I said, everyone wants to make money, but they don't want to work for it.
