Work is moving slow, as there is no pressure.

Engine oil inspected and found to be milky.

Engine must have had a history of overheating.

No metal particles in base of engine .

At this point a decision has to be made between a replacement and a rebuild.

Replace!

Keep old engine as parts (as Acura parts could be a bit scarce and pricey when car needs mechanical part replacement in the future)

Physical inspection of Engine reveals previous disassembly and also 2 layers of graphite head gaskets installed between the head cylinder and the block.

With this revelation Inam more than certain the abuse engine has received in the past is vast.

Full Aluminum engines do not recover well from overheating, there is a possibility of cracks and a lot worn out engine internals and based on our last MDX Viator possible missing parts.

So we don't keep this vehicle longer than necessary (I value my space a lot) we will be replacing the engine.

Engine replacement.

Iv written about it more than once, but we don't buy engines blindly especially if they can be sourced from the American or Canadian markets .

Contrary to what a lot of so called professionals think about the Nigerian spare part market, you can actually get very decent engines and transmissions as long as you patronise the right source.


Currently this engine is scarce but I was able to fine one still sitting in a warehouse (yet to be shipped off to the retailers shop)

First thing, physical inspection of the engine , looks good almost all accessories intact , turn engine slow on the ground , no noises or stiffness, no cracks can be seen, all silicone gasket gums are stock, and a general feel of good compression when turned . Finally a peak inside the valve cover is heavenly , clean like it was just manufactured.

Finally picked out the vin tag and sent to carguide for a comprehensive report.

For some reason the manufacturer of this vehicle has a lot of faith in mobil1 products.

I am certain the old engine would have lived forever if this recommendation was followed grin

Vin report back

Engine came out of a vehicle that was involved in a rollover in 2020 and sold October 2020. Very important to know when sold so you are sure it's not an old engine that was removed here in Naija .
