2004 cl type s

 

What the F is the j32a3???

 

im pretty sure its the 04 tl engine ... i might be wrong

 

Oh, duh, didn't think about that. I kept seeing CL and couldn't figure out what it was.

 

buy it now for 200 bucks... too bad its not a 3.5 block or i would be all over it

 

if it had a tranny

 

I'd be really cautious about engines coming out of Florida of late .With all the weather they have had the last few weeks I would not be surpised if those are from flood cars that some enterprising (read unscrupolous) individual is trying to turn a quick buck on.

They both have one bad rod... flood... Sure sign of hydrolock.

 

Huh that’s bizarre.

I always thought the CL was powered by this:

 

Yep. Plus 2 totaled cars with one bent rod each? Surely a dealership wouldn't replace the whole short block to fix a bent rod.

 

Actually, they just might. I think the labor involved in taking apart the whole motor actually amounts to how much it would cost just to get a new motor and throw it right in. Labor is what costs the most.

 

thanks Jens, that makes sense. hydrolocked motors.

 

i habe a J32a2 for sale ttwo pistons and ring sets are needed

 

flood damage as well?

 

 

No no no....thats the CL-P
