Alternator
Battery
Timing belt/water pump
Valve cover gasket/spark tube seals
Spark plugs
Oil filter housing gasket

 

depends how much you like the car, at that mileage, its not really worth it unless you like it. BUT you can swap a j35a3 in for less than 500$. all your j32 parts will swap over and save you money.

 

Driving a car knowingly with no oil?! you killed it.. Look for a used engine to throw in

 

I'm surprised the engine even lasted that long, to be honest.

 

And what is an oil filter adapter gasket? You mean the actual oil filter failed? What brand of filter were you using?

I guess I do still hear something new everyday.

 

The peice that the oil filter screws into also the oil pressure switch and vtec solenoid screws into is known as the oil filter housing or adapter theres three bolts that attach to block in between the block and oil filter housing is a gasket with compartments and a screen well it failed

 

good point id love to put a bigger better engine in the car at first i thought about the type s engine then i thought wat about a 04-06 tl type s well wat im gettin at is will these engines work direct fit or will i have to mod anything and yes i do love the car to death i pretty much did everything i could to it to make it last forever but shit happens obviosly but yea everythings done already jus gotta put it on next engine i get

 

There's No such thing as an 04-06 type S.. type S came in 07-08 for the 3rd gen TLs

 

another thing my uncle has a 99 or 00 acura rl jus sitting it has a j35 in it but idk if itll wrk in my car it only need a rear main seal he has a newer acura tl now the RL was my late grandpops car

will it wrk?

 

J35A3 is a direct fit if you're automatic. You don't want the newer style engine like the 04+.

 

what? The vtec solenoid is no where near the oil filter.

I have no idea what you're talking about, to be honest. I've never noticed what you're saying, and I've never heard of anyone else suffering a failure of that nature. Something isn't adding up, but regardless...

 

i think he's talking about #14 here

 

01-02' MDX = J35A3

Literally a DIRECT BOLT IN. Easily found for less than $500.


PS.. Run on sentences are fuckin mind numbing…

 

so are broken caps lock keyboards

 

Dang, would've been cheaper to take the day off work, or grab a taxi.. Anyway, compared to the cost of a new car, its a TRUCK LOAD of money cheaper to swap in the J35 motor. Especially since you already know the car and where its been.

 

Some lessons are learned the hard way... and this is one of them.... Type S engine are not totally common so J35A3 swap is best bet
