The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

As I see it, the cost of new parts against the value of a 23,000 mile 2010 PCX means you have two options. 1: sell it as is and buy something else 2: get a replacement used engine from a local breaker with a guarantee that its a runner If it was me I would favour option 1 Whatever you do FFS don't ...

Always awkward with pictures and others will have their opinions but I would have written off the piston, rings, pin and rod by now. Mains and big ends may be OK but might be worth checking You might be able to get the rod bearing surface remetalled You're right, the piston, rings and pin will defi...

One other thing I've noticed is that the piston is only scored on one side, the other side is completely smooth and without any marks - not sure if that means anything or is just coincidence!

I can't see any bearing on the rod itself nor on the pin. The pin is scored about 3/4 of the way around - I've attached a picture of it. It looks like it was part of the damage from the seizure. Apologies if it's a naive question, but would the scoring in the middle of the eye of the rod have much o...

I'm not 100% sure there wasn't an oil leak, but I've never noticed any oil left behind where I've parked up and there was no indication of anything out of the ordinary prior to this happening. Wow, parts are much cheaper in the US. The crankshaft looks fine from what I can see through the gap now, n...

Lots of help and questions to answer! Firstly, no, there was nothing on the dipstick when the engine went, so the lack of oil would seem to be the main culprit. The spark plug definitely doesn't look like that picture! Most of the components look to be in pretty good shape. I've attached a picture o...

Last service was 16,500 miles, but i changed the oil at 19,000 as they said to change it every 2,500-3,000. I thought that would see me through until the next MOT this month. It's difficult to see much of the bottom end through the gap, but from what I can see there don't appear to be any marks on a...

Just to give an update on the engine. I've taken the whole thing apart to reveal the piston and cylinder with pictures attached. The piston doesn't appear to have much movement on the rod and I'm struggling to remove the piston head from the rod - is there an easy way to do this as I'm wary of putti...

Thanks for all the replies and advice. Think I'll try and strip it down to see what the damage is and then decide from there!

Thank you both for the replies. I've taken a look at the engines on ebay before - I'm assuming this is probably the best place to source an engine? In terms of fitting an engine - is it simply a case of just removing the old one, putting in a new one and connecting up all the cables?

Hello, I was hoping to get some advice on what to do with my 2010 PCX. I've had it for two years and it has racked up 23k miles. I've always taken it to the Honda dealership for any work/services that it has needed, however I made the mistake of not checking my oil recently and two weeks ago the eng...
