One is per honda's service bulletin 08-017, the rocker shaft bridge has excessive clearance which causes the rocker to rotate and make noise. The second, and most important, is an oil consumption issue, of which honda is well aware of a problem. I currently get 755 miles per…

Even with this constant spark plug replacement, it did not alleviate any issues. I kept breaking down on the side…
