I've been tearing down engines on camera for 2 and a half years! Search my channel to see what I've torn down.
Todays teardown is a J35Z8, the 3.5L V6 from a 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey. This is a core engine I picked up at a local salvage yard, which means someone replaced this engine with another used engine. While I do really like the J series engine design, some of these engines, equipped with VCM are quite problematic. This particular failure had little to do with the normal reasons these engines and instead due to the quality of the regular maintenance parts replaced.
Why on Saturn am I doing these teardowns? I own and run a full service auto salvage business in the Saint Louis area called Importapart. Part of our model is buying blown, core and unwanted engines and dismantling them to resell the good, usable parts. We do not rebuild engines, we merely supply parts to those who do.
I really hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback, and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
-Eric

As soon as you popped those covers I knew what happened.. people of the comments section I'm going to give you some advice here quick. If you have a vehicles with a timing belt do not let anyone put on anything less that an original equipment tensioner! At the very least use an aisin timing belt set ( they're the o.e. for most Japanese vehicles) any of the cheaper sets have the most bargain basement made tensioner I've ever seen. The cheap tensioner scourge on the world started a few years ago. I've changed hundred of tensioner back to o.e. after some big wig decided that the an important part needed to be done super cheaply and sold for the most money.. yes aisin stuff is more expensive. But it's a hell of alot less expensive than an engine. Just putting this out there. Hope someone hears it and saves themselves a motor

It still amazes me just how little a modern engine wears out a cylinder wall. When I took auto mechanics in the 80's, most of our engines came from the 70's. And every single one REQUIRED a ridge reamer to get those pistons out. And they only had about 100K miles by the time they made it to us. So still seeing cross hatching at 200K is an utter miracle to me.

@jtoddk98 that's a 200k mile engine with basically perfect bearings in it. There was 0 sludge only some discoloration.... it would take another 200k miles before any of thay added up to anything that would ever cause an issue. Sure could they have changed it more... yes, would it have really made a difference.... not really. There's a fine line between going overboard with oil changes with no benefit, and letting an engine self destruct from neglect. I think that this engine/owner did a good job of keeping the engine alive and not wasting a bunch of money on oil changes too early.

@skirmich
@skirmich 11 месяцев назад
For anyone interested on why the valve train looks like it does. Usually J-Series used to have VTEC Only on the Intake side, this meant that the VTEC rockers only had to activate on the intake which could get away with a 3 bearing rockers setup on the intake and 1 in a Y shape for both Exhaust valves.. Later on Honda designed Dual VTEC on the J-Series which also adds Exhaust VTEC, This meant the exhaust should also need a 3rd bearing rocker but there wasnt any room to spare in the valvetrain.. So what Honda did was to create a vertical rocker arm setting that could lock the exhaust VTEC actuator as well on 2 separate rockers. So in the end: The camshaft has 6 lobes for each cylinder and only the 2 middles lobes share 2 valves at the same time. The outer ones are for exhaust in normal running lift, The ones beside them are the VTEC exhaust lobes, The 2 middle ones are the normal Intake lobe and the big one next to it is the VTEC intake lobe.. Camshaft lobes setup: (Ex, VEx, In, VIn, VEx, Ex) V = VTEC. Ex = Exhaust, In = Intake. By the looks of the camshaft lobes this engine never saw lots of VTEC action.
@wiimaster2847
@wiimaster2847 11 месяцев назад
This engine actually does not have VTEC (none of the VCM-2 engines do). The engines with exhaust VTEC came later in the J35Y era. What you see is one activated lobe for intake and exhaust and then blank lobes for cylinder deactivation.

My return trip, after installing the “Muzzler”, traveling the same route came up at 25.4 mpg. I know that varying conditions can cause such a comparison to be questionable, but, with the same driver, over the same roads, at the same speeds it would seem to be the best possible test a layman could perform.

@@xabhax Read a little more on the VCM. Because 3 cylinders shut down while cruising there are different temperatures in the cylinders causing oil consumption after about 50,000. The switching between 3 and 6 cylinders also causes the front mounts to wear out a lot faster. This is from people who swore they changed their oil every 5,000.

It sounds like how my sister lost an Astra GTE convertible (2 litre 4 pot, 80s car). It had a timing belt change, apparently from a certified mechanic. Possibly certifiable in something different because the timing failed not long after and the engine went boom. Been enjoying your videos ! Loving the style, looking forwards to seeing more. Am learning ...

That happened to my wife's Astra. It had been well serviced before we got it, and I wanted to keep it in good nick. I took it to get the timing belt replaced, they did the timing belt but not the tensioner. It went on the M3, and suddenly lost all power. It was never quite the same again.

Belts can fail, or the cam or idler gears can wear in some designs making it off kilter, so a replacement gets eaten up quick. You ALWAYS do a timing belt, tensionar and usually water pump at the same time. I would sue a mechanic who neglected to do that.

I’ve replaced ~20 Honda/Acura J-series timing belts, their crankshaft pulley bolts are the tightest fasteners I’ve ever come across. A crankshaft pulley holder and 6’ breaker bar work well to getting it loosened. Thank goodness for Craftsman lifetime warranty, as I’ve also broken a few sockets and couple ratchets as well.

Yup, had this one happened. Engine was rattling when it gets warmed up. thought the engine was done. Hydraulic fluid was leaking out of tensioner, can be seen outside the cover. and belt was cracked. Customer never changed it after 200k miles. Did a whole timing kit job and it’s back to normal.

Very interesting teardown. I also had an engine damaged by a cheap timing part: a timing belt idler (fitted by a shop which should have known better) on a 300Tdi Land Rover engine (4 cylinder diesel). It seized after about 50 miles and shredded the timing belt. Thankfully the engine is a pushrod design so the damage was taken by the pushrods, rocker shaft and a couple of rockers, which was easy to repair. No bent valves. OEM timing parts only for me after that!

Thanks, Eric, for another informative autopsy! My neighbor had an early Honda Civic, the engine pully end faced the Left and it ran counterclockwise? We could not work out if the pulley bolt was Lefthand thread or not. But I can tell you that bolt was tight we could not budge it. The belt had failed and damaged all the pistons. Just 2 things I noticed with your motor tonight, a 6 sided socket will go on with the handle either too high or too low to get a good swing, remove the socket, turn it a quarter turn and it will all be OK. Next, the pulley had a hexagon area and I guess Mr Honda had some sort of Torque multiplier to fit in there and torque that bolt up so tight. Good on you for fitting that plate onto a flywheel bolt, I was expecting to find a broken crankshaft. Tim from down under.

Those are pretty much indestructible. I had the prior version in an Acura. I had a coolant hose fail in the middle of nowhere, with no cell service, so I drove it dry for about ten miles into town. I made it to a mechanic just fine. The temperature gauge was pegged, of course, and it had around 160K miles on it at the time. He waited an hour for it to cool down enough to work on, replaced the hose and coolant, and I was on my way with no problem. I put another 30K on it before the transmission started to go and I got rid of it. While waiting for the engine to cool, the mechanic asked me if I knew the ramifications of driving it in that condition and asked why I didn't call for a tow. I explained that it was an older car without much resale value, I wasn't in a position to get a tow truck as I had no means to contact one, and that my wife and I had three newer cars (so, it was just a spare by then). Still, I didn't want to destroy a perfectly fine engine and was glad it was good.

I bought my Odyssey used, but the original tensioner failed. The previous owner took it to Honda and had it replaced. Then at 80,000 miles they had the timing belt service done. 40,000 miles later, with me having bought the car, the OEM tensioner failed again with the infamous knocking sound when cold. So I'm not sold on the OEM hydraulic tensioner at all. I just replaced with AISIN and so far, so good.

Great videos. I hope they are getting your Porsche fixed the right way for you. I would still like to see you tear down a 1.8 like came in a 2016 Chevy Sonic. The other engine I would like to see you tear down is the 2.4 turbocharged SRT4 out of a 2003 PT Cruiser GT. It has the aluminum intake manifold on it, and not the cheaper plastic one they replaced it with in the other years. Keep up the great work.

The last few generations didn't grow up wrenching on cars as kids to keep our junkers running. Then you quickly found out about no oil in the engine it blows up. Sets you up for fastidious oil inspection later in life which really pays off. I check the oil in my cars every few days. Never let it get below the full line. Never have any engine issues. And buy a 3/4 inch EMT pipe at Lowes for breaker bar extender. Sold in 10 ft lengths so bring a hacksaw to cut it in half. I keep a 5 foot long piece in the trunks of my cars if i get a flat. very handy.

I think part of the reason my '98 BMW 328i has gotten to 208k miles is that I always replace critical components with OE parts; not necessarily "official BMW parts" but the same part made by the same manufacturer for 1/3 the price. I never have to worry about part quality or function that way, and it still runs like new. Same with my Explorers, for any engine or electrical components Motorcraft is far beyond any aftermarket stuff. Some aftermarket parts are OK, but as you mention, look at the cost/benefit/risk associated. The higher the risk goes, the more you need to move towards OE or at least something that's been proven over time. Excellent video, as always.

Not sure if you'd want to use this trick on a modern engine, but I had a buddy back in the day who owned a really good engine rebuild shop here in Ottawa, Canada. His specialty was mostly 1960s and 1970s musclecar engines. Crankshaft pulley bolt won't come off? He told me a trick: Fill the cylinders on the upstroke with soft and clean string! It has worked like a charm every time I have needed to do it - Pontiac 2.5L Iron Duke, several Mopar Slant-6 engines, Chevy Smallblocks, heck, even just to get the blade off my lawnmower. Basically it hydro-locks the engine even on cylinders with the valves open and the spark plugs out. Once the crank bolt is free, just pull the string back out and you're good to go. It's great if you're trying to change the timing chain in the car but can't stop the engine from rotating any other way.

Was working on a Hyundai and the shop kept getting aftermarket tensioner kits. Cloyes parts are usually okay, but for some reason the original, worn out, tensioner still felt better than the new Cloyes'. Contacted dealership and they told us they used a different tensioner depending on trim level. Got the dealership part in and viola. That said, I've had dealership parts that are DOA and the aftermarket does try to make improvements on original designs so YMMV

Always use OEM on timing systems...That's my motto... Doesn't matter how much it costs...if something fails it's always going to cost you big. Also use the best quality oils you can afford...full synthetic every time for me. Awesome vid Eric, shame such a cheap part failed to end this engines life.

I bought a really nice Accord with a J30 and bent valves from a shredded timing belt for $800. Pulled the heads off in the car and popped on some good junkyard units and the car runs beautifully. I've put about 25,000 miles on it since then. Those dings in the pistons are fine. No issues.

I almost lost an engine in my 2002 Accord SE with the 2.3L 4 cylinder F23A4. An aftermarket water pump failed prematurely and if I hadn't shut the engine down promptly it probably would have destroyed itself due to overheating. I had to get the whole timing belt job redone in order to fix it ($1100). The car is still running well with 147,000 miles on it.
