> why would it matter if its on it 3rd engine, all engines have been installed professionally. the only reason the second blew up well **i actually dont know why the second one blew up** i only had it for a day. the engine that is in it is factory and has never been rebuilt so why does it matter?

> no, you took that all wrong. **both motors had bearing materail in the oil**. the car would over boost to like 18 pounds with the gay aem intake on it. now the car does not have the intake installed. the car never goes about 10 pounds so whats the big deal i just want another honda

so which is it?

a 6 year old car on it’s 3rd motor is a big deal.
