The one item that most of us rarely look at on an engine but is the only one with unfiltered oil is the oil pump. Hondas oil pumps do seem to be very robust and over speced with little wear showing even when mechanical disasters have happened. Way back when i did a lot of Ford and Vauxhaul engines i refused point blank to not fit a new pump but they were a lot cheaper.
