Yea I know the trannies arnt the best, but how durable are these engines. This is the first import ive ever owned, and my whole family has probably owned ever, and I know Honda makes good engies but what about ours?

 

well i have shot it several time with a 50Cal. no problem. next is the 60Cal but there harder to get a hold of. ill let you know what my finding are when im done.

very bullet proof. last thing you will have to worry about. there are a few i know of with over 200,000. and i really havent heard of any going out. the enging will outlast the car. you are more likely going to total the car in an accident then kill the engine.

 

As far as I can see, engine is bullet proof for 200k.

 

a 50 call would burn through or make a crack.

 

way to take it literally

 

Its typical honda. They are very very good. I had 200k on mine when i pulled it out for my swap, and i could gaurentee (this sideof a freak failure) it would have easily made it another 200k

 

im an extremely hard driver. i take my car to track every now and then. i drive all over the place too, including my 20 hour trip down to florida. with me flooring it everytime i accelerate too.

i have a 99TL with 110,000 miles on it. the engine never gave me problems. the only thing that caused a problem was the motor mounts, which i recently replaced. costed no more than 200 bucks.

 

the engine seems pretty solid, only thing i had to replace were all the engine mounts as they broke on me one by one. got a little costly

 

The engine is bullet proof, but the tranny is like a lil sissy. That never quits whinning, until you get a new one !!

 

yeah, if it wasnt for the tranny, i wouldnt have a single complaint about the TL, its the only problem i have with the car all together.. i hope the 07's have better tranny's

 

motor mounts for 200? where, how?

Funny. I just had my mounts replaced, but they did not fix my "vibration at full stop while in drive" problem.

I hope its not my transmission

 

I feel hard vibrations, and they sed i need to change 4 out of 5 of my mounts... 300 ish for parts, but nothing for labor since i havin my tranny swapped...
