if you "fixed" the valves yourself, and i think a honda mechanic would know if you did or not, and your car was under warantee...then youre SOL (**** outa luck). you voided your warantee. should have taken it to honda in the first place.

dont screw it up anymore and just take it to honda to get it fixed. thats if you want a running car that is.

Care to explain the problem a little better. What did you do when the problem happened? Did you adjust something or make any changes? How did you bend 13 valves in the first place? Are there any check lights on? You werent very detailed. It was like hey my vtec is broken please tell me how to fix it.

how did you over-rev? we've got a rev limiter, unless you shifted from third to second or something

This sounds more like just a malfunction. Sounds like you really f***ed something up. Take it and get it fixed. Expect it to be expensive and take a while. I think ur screwed.

Or you could buy another engine for about half the price of fixing yours...

where can i buy another engine with low mileage cause i have about 65k

so let me get this straight...your engine was giving you problems and instead of having it looked at right away you drove it hoping it would fix itself? Man no offense but your an idiot. Word of advise if your oil light ever goes on I suggest you put some in b/c the problem wont just go away.

well my car as working fine until it didn't pass 4k rpm and check engine light came on. i didn't want to take i to the dealership cause afraid warranty wasn't going to cover it and charge an arm and a leg like last time to fix the valves. it is drivable but no vtec at all. i wish i had a vafcII so i can adjust the fuel cause the obdII said fuel system to rich. ive reseted ecu like 3or 4 times and light comes on but no vtec then like at5300 rpm the rev limiter kicks i third gear of its a saftey feuture. i don't wan to remove my vtec who does. could it be my valves not adjusted right
