RECALLED 2020 Honda Odyssey J35 V6 Engine FAILED But the Customer HAD TO PAY! They Won't Cover THIS!

For parts visit www.Importapart.com or email us at [email protected] Today we are tearing down the 3.5L J35Y7 V6 from a 2020 Honda Odyssey with roughly 85k miles. This engine is part of the recall where the dealer inspects and replaces rod bearings as necessary. However, while this engine is part of the recall campaign, this replacement was NOT covered! Why might you ask? Well that's what this teardown will hopefully answer. How did this engine fail? Was it related to the faulty rod bearings or was it something else? The J series V6 has been around since the mid 90's and has proven to be one of the most reliable Honda engines EVER produced. The earliest versions of these engines were by far, the best, often lasting 400-500K miles without issues. Once Honda implemented systems like VCM or variable cylinder management, the reliable dropped but these can still last quite a while with proper care. The J35Y6/Y7 comes in the Acura TLX, Honda Passport, Honda Odyssey, Honda Ridgeline and the Honda Pilot. From its current configuration, it produces 280hp and 262lbft of torque but versions of J series engines have made well over 300hp in the past.
