@@robertsise7898 yes ideally you would want to mic the crank journals and then plastiguage everything to ensure it is all within tolerance. However, Honda doesn’t require to do this and are treating this like a brake pad slap to keep costs down.

This only affects GDI J35 engines. Your TSX V6 is port injection.

@@droboyjr 9 bro. 9. Hours.

@nsxavier997 I’m a toyota tech and imo that’s just not enough but am I surprised? absolutely not. I’m curious about your opinion on it. Now, just like any job, once you do a few I’m sure you get faster and faster but I know what’s involved to get to that point of crank replacement and it’s a good bit. Drain oil, coolant, evac AC, drop subframe with engine, disconnect wire harness, separate trans with tc, etc. etc. etc. That’s a lot of damn work not to mention reinstallation and you can’t really afford to make any serious mistakes. 9 hours is kinda BS imo. I respect your work though 👍 Somebody has to lol.

@@droboyjr ayyyeee… fellow tech 🫡. My opinion on it is that Honda is going to going to continue to cut warranty labor times to avoid bankruptcy and insolvency.. but that is inevitable without a miracle. 1.4 million cars affected with this recall and on the low end they’re paying out approximately $1,200 for the repair. That’s over 1.4b dollars they’re paying to fix this mess. No matter how much money they make on new car sales, parts sales, and whatever other sectors they’re involved with will not recover the losses on this. Nobody sees this now. Wait till the street gets wind of their earnings report for Q4 2024.. that’s going to be bloody. Their stock price is already -16% YTD. Once investor confidence declines… there goes their cash flow. Technicians will always be good though. It’s not like we’re growing on trees. The way I see it is sure, short change us now and our pleasure will be witnessing the decline and downfall of what once was an awesome company.

@@frankobermaier3440 I really appreciate it! Check out my other follow up video which shows crankshaft replacement if you’d like!

No worries. The old style OBD connectors you mentioned come off pretty easily. Just push the metal retainer inwards and pull.

@ wow ok push in and then pull. I’ve broke a few plastic ones on my s550 and didn’t want to be an issue on the 997 or fight it cause it’s kinda tight to get in there. Thank you for letting know. Enjoy your holiday season. Cheers

@ sorry one last ? B4 I try. Can I pull these VVTS by just removing the Y pipe & air box or does the engine need to be lowered? Thanks again.

Honda is under investigation by the NHTSA for bearing failures. Vehicles affected on the Honda side: 1.4 million. You might be seeing a letter in the mail.

😑

Just as good as the day I bought it (have had it for about a month now). I choose to wear it over my other watches but it might just be because of the honeymoon phase. I will say that I do prefer the speedmaster over my DateJust. I think that my go to will always be the Submariner though.

@@ericcindycrowder7482 didn’t care enough to actually go out and buy assembly lube (manufacturer or dealership doesn’t supply it). Since I am already at a net loss for doing this job, the last thing I want to do is go out and spend my own money on something to assemble an engine. Oil is supplied. Just working with what I have.

@@MrSupernova111 surprisingly we don’t see too many issues with the 3rd gen RDX. They seem to be super reliable and fairly well built. The only ‘major’ issues with those cars are in the first years (2019-2020) that had massive communication problems for the infotainment. Panoramic sunroofs were also problematic. But the powertrain on that car is pretty stout. I think in the time that it has been out I have only had to replace one or two transmissions and only 1 cylinder head due to overheating. They seem to have ironed out all the kinks in that car and I would feel comfortable buying a 22-25 model. They also drive nice and smooth for being the entry level small SUV.

@@NSXavier997 . I heard about those issues before purchasing my vehicle but I decided those are minor concerns compared to having oil dilution, etc... with the 1.5L turbos. So far so good so we'll see how far I get with this vehicle. I plan to keep it for a long time. Edit: I should add that I also didn't want an EV so Acura was a good choice for me. The other option was Mazda. Cheers!

Stay tuned for another video that I will be making which will outline the costs.

We're not doing short blocks anymore. If the engine has failed to the point of engine lock-up causing connecting rods to break, they have you replace the long block which magically changed price from $15,000 to $2,200 once the recall was released and HONDA had to eat costs of engine replacement. Convenient. This job doesn't pay what it should. It's like 9 hours of labor.

@@jimkelly1613 No the 2nd generation RDX is not affected. Main difference between the two engines is one is port injected and the other is DI.

@NSXavier997 thank you. Do you know which is Direct Injected? I was under the impression the RDX is Direct Injected?

@ it is not. 2nd generation RDX is port injected

@@NSXavier997 that is good news but wonder why dealership says needs intake cleaning every 40,000 miles then. Would expect that for direct injection.

@ that’s just dealership snake oil they’re selling. Our dealership did away with all that BS and only sell brake fluid exchanges every 3 years like what Honda recommends. All that other intake cleaning fluff is just BS and doesn’t do anything don’t buy it.

Neither would I.

@@NSXavier997 you did a great job, however will EVERY flat rate tech take such care? I don't know

@@ruicoelhoruic5678 not sure why you can’t see replies. No, I don’t think so. The amplifier has its own power source and is turned on with key on/ engine off, or engine run. The most converter box basically turns the RCA audio signal into a MOST signal that the amplifier can read and output.

@NSXavier997 Thank you. I'm want to do a headunit delete but run a bluetooth adapter to play music off my phone. Trying to work things out in my head what I might need

@@ruicoelhoruic5678 you will need a most converter box like the one in this video, and a Bluetooth module that has RCA audio outputs.

@NSXavier997 Great! That's what I was looking at, too. I love your car, keep it up!

@@browncaca 2.2 is a little too rich for Honda to be paying their techs.

@@antolismirnoff5513 I wouldn’t go that far… I’d say I wouldn’t buy another Honda right now.

@@NSXavier997 I was excited about the new Passport, but I'm betting it will also be recalled in a few years.

@@demarcustodd4437 no, that car is an example of a good car that Honda produced.

@ thank you for such a quick response. That’s a sigh of relief lol. I just recently got it last month but I love it so far.

They don't. No dealership values their Technicians. Sad reality we live in. The Technicians are the backbone of any dealership and fixed operations literally keeps the lights on and the bills paid... yet, we're paid the least and are the least respected. Put it to you this way... we don't have first names we have employee numbers.

No I that generation is not affected as far as I know. I actually own the same car (2013)- and I have not received any recalls in the mail.

@@NSXavier997 Thank you! Are you happy with this car overall?

@@Mickey_Bauer Yea it has been great. Low maintenance. The only major things I have had to do to it were the timing belt in 2020, brake pads and rotors and tires. Everything else has been just general routine maintenance.

@@NSXavier997 awesome, thanks brother!

No, the J35Y1as in my '15 V6 Accord, and the J35Y2 in the manual-equiped Accords (all 2013 thru 2017 Accords) are not affected by all of these Honda/Acura Recalls.

@@rodgerpetrick6502 Yep. They Definitely don’t make them like they used to. I wouldn’t buy any new car today unless it was something high end like a PORSCHE. Primarily why I own 4 cars with the newest one being a 2013. All still running like tops.

@ fair. And this is true. However I can say that without a doubt, that they don’t make them like they used to. Taking Honda completely out of the equation; I would put more faith in a well sorted 1999 BMW M3 outlasting a 2024 BMW M4. It would be more reliable too. I guess I’m just a stubborn car enthusiast stuck in the late 90’s / early 2000’s lol

@@NSXavier997 Everything must change. It's just growing pains on the way to the future. People will laugh one day at how people had to drive vehicles. We'll just be teleported around. But for now, all I can do is get affordable transportation and try to find the most reliable one. I'm switching to Toyota. Almost ready to get a Camry hybrid. I think a floaty, numb boat will be a good change from the Hondas. I'll just focus on using it as a tool to get me places to experience life. A to B and then have fun at B and forget about the way I got there. No more Accords, no more Ridgeline.

@@NSXavier997 Those were the glory days of cars. I had a Nissan Frontier, stick, and it went 250k on just oil changes - original clutch was still on it when I sold it. AC stopped working. Radiator mounts rusted apart. But that was my favorite vehicle of all time because it took me to all the places I needed to go. By today's standard's it was a dangerous box , on casters. Rear wheel drive... fish-tailing through snowstorms on freeways. Loved it.

@@Jazz16-we1qc teleportation....or cancer. I'm sure many will still choose teleportation even being told of the risks.

I don’t think this issue is directly related to that issue.
