Default Ignition system recall on 1998 models & engine rebuilds?

Has anyone brought their cars in for this recall, and had Honda mention they would do additional engine work? I was starting to have some serious knocking/rattle, and they said they would be rebuilding my engine (fully covered under base warranty, they said). I wonder if these two problems are related (the ingition causing almost unnoticable problems, over several years, and slowly causing engine damage?).

Thats weird because my wife was driving the Prelude the other day and while making a left turn the car suddenly shut itself off. Never happened before and I definitley need to bring the car in for that recall. I'd hate for it to shut off and loose control of the car while on the expressway.

*I also have been noticing that when you disarm the alarm the ignition is still immobilized, it takes me a few disarm/arming sessions to make the ignition start up.


I'd like to hear more about the so called engine rebuilds side of the recall.

Anyone with any info please post here!!
