To have the engine rebuilt can easily be a few thousand dollars depending on the shop you go to. I suggest calling a few shops to get a more accurate price.
No updated piston/rings since the part itself isn't the cause of the failure. Bulletin 19-006 has everything for this job. Heres the link static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10153886-0001.pdf
The service procedure states to first torque the bolts in sequence to 16ft pounds then 2 steps of 90 degree angles. What you saw was me doing the angle part.
The rings and pistons are caked in carbon deposits and thats why the car burns oil. I've never seen damage to the cylinder walls without a check engine light. And while we have it apart the cylinder walls are still cross hatched from the factory. No need to hone them.
@@curlyhairadventure2780 I understand, but, I am from the school that says new ring, cylinder gets honed. I also understand that most quality rings now are chromemoly plated and take much longer to seat.
To be perfectly honest i'm not quite sure. You could call a dealer to double check or check with this site here www.acurapartswarehouse.com/ This site is similar to the parts catalog at the dealer. Im not associated with this site but i use it all of the time. There is one for Honda too i believe. Hope this is helpful!
Great vid! Planning on tackling this. New head gaskets required? Any other gaskets I’ll need?
Looks it’s Acura of Boston repair shop. You still work at that place?
Nice video. Please tell me that all of this only took you 6 hrs.
Not gonna lie took me about 12 hours for this while job. I take my time to make sure everything is good.
How many miles did this MDX have ? I just bought one with 166,000 miles on it.
Please tell how much will it cost for my 2012 mdx with 225k that is burning oil.

Is there an updated piston/ring that you install?
Also, is there a kit with the needed parts to do that job?

Thank you for the link, will definitely be using this when the time comes.
Did you just crank the head bolts down with a breaker bar with a pipe on it and not use a torque wrench on them???

@@curlyhairadventure2780 OK cool 😂
On the oem head gasket witch side is up on the gasket the serial number?
You need to match up the holes for the oil and coolant passages. If you pause at 3:41 you can see how its lined up on the front bank
Is honing the cylinders not needed for piston and ring replacement on the Honda 3.5?

Is there any break in procedure after getting this done?
We tell customers to take it easy for 500 miles and thats it. I dont even think thats necessary since no bearings are changed in the process.
EXCELLENT JOB.
Thank you! Cheers!
All that could’ve been avoided by using good oil like Amsoil every 5 k, and doing top engine cleaning every 30 K.
