Thanks for the advice! I just found out a new crankshaft is ~$80 and labor
is going to be over $125. I can buy a brand new Honda engine (same model)
for about $225, so I may end up doing that...

it will be a big job, you will need special tools,( torque wrenches a

being this is a overhead camshaft unit unless you have some experience in
doing this type of work and the proper service info I would not recommend
it. Just to split the oil pan off the block is tricky from the way it is
made and sealed. If you are not careful you may damage either part and
could
price the repair over the cost of a new unit. Take it to the pros if they
screw it up in fixing it that will be there cost not yours.
