  My father used to criticize car owners for ignoring warnings signs.  He said that low oil pressure should be first signaled by a red light followed shortly after by a loud buzzer.  If you were still driving it a minute later a big boxing glove should fly out of the steering column and sock you in the nose for ignoring the first two warnings.

  I always find it amazing that no matter how well built an engine is, there's always a careless owner worthy of destroying it.

  I work at a Honda dealer and you are spot on with your assessment on VCM. For you curious out there that own a VCM equipped engine there is a product called VCMuzzler that can be installed which modified the ECT signal to the computer which causes the VCM to never activate. I myself have an Odyssey with a J35A6 so no VCM for me, I was very careful to only look at models specifically without VCM because of the widespread, well documented issues with VCM. Good teardown, keep it up!

  Reminds me of a story from a Honda engineer who said one of their race engines granaded on the track and the crew chief yelled to go out there and pick up the pieces so their secrets were kept.  The engineer thought "Why would anyone want to copy that?"

  This wasn’t engine failure, this was engine abuse!

  Well, I think Eric has out done himself. He really enjoyed himself at the laughing on this one. By his laughing, you really can tell he really enjoys what he does. As do we

  I think we can give the screen in the pickup tube an MVP award for keeping all of that kibble out of the oil pump. Impressive.

  I spent 9 years at a Honda dealership, spent my fair share of time putting rings in these engines. I never saw one grenade like this, and I feel cheated.

  This one is the absolute winner. <br>That pickup tube held some serious metal chunks.. Impressive... This must have sounded terrifying in the last 3 to 4 seconds of it&apos;s life. Wow!<br>Turning a six cylinder to a one cylinder was an amazing effort.

  I had a 08 odyssey with this motor and never had a issue with the motor. 250k miles ran like a champ. Now I did do regular maintenance every 5k and did everything that needed to be done when it needed it. With that said if u take care of your car it will take care of you.

  It&apos;s hard to believe a person could ignore the sounds coming out of this engine before it seized. Such a well designed and built engine. The person driving the car should have their license revoked.

  This is what happens when you feed your car taco bell. 🤣
