Rep Power: 0 EMERGENCY: Water in the engine!!!!
My kid has a CAI and went through some deep water. The local Honda STEALERSHIP wants ~$10,000 for a new engine.
Can anyone recommend a reputable shop in HOUSTON that I can have the car towed to? Thanks guys!

also post on 8thcivic.com they are more 8thgen oriented and we are mostly 7thgen. im sure you can find a cheap engine on ebay or junkyard to swap in. which car do you have, the dx/lx/ex or the SI? the si motor is gonna cost you a ton more.

To all of your questions: the dealership took out the plugs and turned the engine over. No water came out, but water can still be seen inside the chambers.
Regarding insurance, I have insurance out the a$$. But, I have a $1500 deductible and do NOT want another claim on my policy for fear of my rates going up for the next three years.
I believe it would be less expensive to repair it using a local shop. Right now, I'm looking at Carboys here in town.

good luck man. dealerships are usually not very nice to cover water damage. but hopefully you find somewhere to do it for reasonable cost.
