That is what I was always thought. I can remember our boss telling us that service, and parts, basically carried the whole dealership.

And extended warranties and service agreements.

The engine used a little oil. Bet running with low oil deprived number one cylinder first.
The engine ran pretty darn good at higher rpms. Rough at idle.

I hope you didn't order a whole longblock for that. Likely just one or two valves on one cylinder in the head. $300 repair. The shortblock is probably fine.

It's common on Honda SOHCs
