It was a camshaft bearing that I guess seized up, then the camshaft
sheared right in half. With the associated damage from all that the
engine is very much dead. No big deal because the car ran great and was
very responsive till the last day so I'm not complaining. My Old Pontiac
6000 that I had before that hit 286,000 kms but ran like crap for most
of it's lifetime so my money's on Hondas for keeping their performance
even with very high mileage.
