Hey friends, it me again, the noisey Prelude guy.
Anyone know what will happen if I delay this repair for a while. Will I damage anything else?? Will the noise get worse so that someone may more easily notice it?? I hope not to have the car die on the side of the raod.
It could let go or seize I suppose in either case your timing goes to sh1t and that's no good. If it happens say at 6-7k you can bet that's a wasted motor. I'd say even at idle it would cause a problem I wouldnt want to have. If your dealer wouldn't touch it get it to another, many dealers will do a job like that to get your business since they can write it off most of the time.
