Yea. I've been a regular on this board for a month or so now. Pretty interesting stuff and lots of useful info. I've actually seen a quote that said, don't be afraid to buy a used Honda motor, they don't die unless you kill them. I think that's what the quote was. Well, sorry to say, it sounds like you killed it. Get other opinions though. And by the way, good luck figuring out your problem. Sorry i was not much help.
