honda > bmw for cost effective appliances.
You get alot of those with blown trannies? My uncle has one of those minivans, and apparently got the trans replaced under a honda extended warranty on those things.
My mom keeps getting letters about a tranny recall on her MDX. Junk, but at least Honda is taking care of it.
So, how far out of whack was the lash?
i second that question!

at .015. Most of the exhaust valves had tightened up but only a couple of thousandths. It ran noticably better after adjusting the valves. I too thought it looked pretty clean for a engine that had only dino oil its whole life.. But considering it was a 2001 with 120k miles means it had to be a lot of highway miles so that helps.
