If the motor died due to a defect in materials or original assembly then Honda/Acura should warranty it. If it was destroyed due to your own negligence/mistake/etc then hell no they wont (and should not) warranty it. Any items replaced by warranty are sent to the manufacturer.

If you get your motor replaced under warranty then Honda sends the dealership a new one. The dealership then send the bad motor to them. They have mechanics that go over the motor. If its determined that engine failure was due to neglect on the owners part (IE: Over revving or shooting NOS thru it) they send the bad motor back to the dealership and make the service department eat the cost. Then it stays there until someone (Usually a mechanic ) buys it for next to nothing.

In most cases Honda will require the dealer to send it back

as far as my experince goes 3+ years...if it's a large warrenty job...esp in a b-series car a district manager comes out to look at the damage.. yay or nay it's up to this man. usualy in this situation the part do not go back to honda they are kept for 45 days then tossed...b-series part are scoffed up by the mechanics or parts guys. they only send parts back to techline if it's a unique failure.
