TIming Chain and actuator

Turns out I had a happy ending ... no not that kind. :-) Just under 60,000 miles and the 7 year warranty (in California) was coming up. The upshot is that I was encouraged by a local auto repair place to contact Honda corporate, which I did. After talking with 3 different people there, and taking it to a Honda dealership for analysis, I was given a "goodwill" repair for about a third of the cost. It helped that I have been a loyal Honda owner since 1996. This restored my faith in Honda, and the kindness of strangers. Huge relief!
