That's a good one- I drilled a drain hole in the casting.

The front plate of a 22RE is one thing, piece of cardboard and place the bolts as taken off, anything else goes into a bucket and there is a problem if you have bolts left over ;)

My thoughts- I would tuck it away just in case.

What I got out of my reading is the Ru alloy is harder (longer lasting?) than platinum but also a cheaper metal for the manufacturer. I tried them on my 5.7L vortec and the idle wasn't as smooth as the IX. I do have a set for the Honda to try out when the time comes.

That depends if this part is a known problem- if not usually an issue I would try used oem. Depends on the labour. I've had three diffs changed out and all were 1k-2k, so not a cheap problem in the scheme of things.

They had their issues but I don't think they were a bad engine, certainly not great tho.

I didn't read this thread thru- when I purchased my 2015 Honda 2.4L, DI it didn't matter at all although now I would probably favor regular injection, I run a catch can which catches all kinds of nasties and hopefully kicks any intake trouble down the road. I also steered clear of the CVT and...
