Engine knock?

Hey everyone,

As I've been waiting for the last 3 months for the dealer to get the warranty engine oil consumption parts to partially rebuild the engine, I think a knock has developed. (they keep telling me they have no estimate on parts, but 3 months is getting kind of much at this point...)

Oil has been topped up regularly, think I should take it back?

dealers are having to replace crank bearings also during the engine work and there's a backorder on that too. It could be a damaged cam from oil passages being clogged with carbon limiting oil flow causing knock.

I think this is so funny yet sad at the same time, because I'm going through the same damn issue as you with Acura. No one bothers to call and I'm the one running after then for help. Finally called again today someone told me it's a 3month wait. So disappointed I'm thinking of getting rid of the car now.

So it's September and I'm still waiting on parts! Acura corporate and the dealership just keep telling me no idea when parts are coming in. Going near 8 months now!

Anyone actually had this warranty work performed?

Lots of people have including me. I brought my car in 2 weeks after being approved. Very happy with the results, no more oil burning.

quite a few folks on facebook have had them done, parts are coming in batches to dealers slowly since they didn't anticipate needing so many parts.
