Well I am going to make a very long sad story short hopefully. I have a 2021 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T which last month I brought into service for a P0304 error. Turns out after failing a compression test on cylinder 4 (60psi/110psi) I most likely have a bent rod. The dealership also did a $1000 tear down to further inspect the damage but only took off the head. There appears to be some damage to cams as well with signs of heat rash. Unfortunately because honda saw a downpipe on my car they declined my warranty claim no questions asked even though it has a cat on the downpipe. To get my car up and running in a timely manner I purchased a used engine from cocoa salvage for around 3k with 8k miles on it and I am having a shop install it for roughly $1700. Honda return the car back to me in pieces and I have to figure out what to keep in engine swap.
Reason for this post is I do not know what I should do with my broken engine as it only has 3,300 miles on it and is practically brand new in every way except cams and 1 piston/rod. The way I see it I can either build it back stock or aftermarket or sell as is. I am open to other suggestions.
I live in Orlando FL and I am having a hard time finding good engine builder shops. I was wondering if some of you guys could give me some guidence on what path I should take with my original engine.
