To recap, here is everything new that will be going in the TL. J35A6 motor arrived at the shop yesterday so he will likely get started next week

• 120k Mile J35A6 Engine out of 05 Odyssey EX
• p2r red radiator hoses
• Coolant
• Oil
• Oil Filter
• Magnetic Oil Drain Plug
• Front and Rear Main Seals
• p2r J Series+ Clutch Kit
• Clutchmasters Lightweight Flywheel
• NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
• Transmission Fluid
• Innovative 75A Transmission Mounts
• Motorad Thermostat
• New CV Axles
• Front Lower Ball Joints
• Front Lower Control Arms (was going to get Hardrace bushings but they are out and no lead time)
• Ignition Coils
• Fuel Injectors
• EGR Valve
• PCV Valve
• Aisin Timing and Water Pump Kit
• Gates Timing Belt
• Gates Accessory Belt
• Unorthodox Lightweight Underdrive Crankshaft Pulley
• Oil Catch Can

I think that's everything lol. I will tackle more of the suspension stuff down the road but figured I'd have him replace a few things since the axles will be out (I noticed before one boot on a axle was jacked so that's why I decided to replace those).

This car will basically be like brand new lol. I already replaced rear parking brake assembly, calipers, rotors, and pads and I have front pads and rotors at home ready to go on once I get the car back. I may end up selling my 05 Accord EX daily driver and just daily driving this thing due to the amount I am putting into it. Definitely did not expect to get this deep lol

Been awhile since posting. Motor is being installed as we speak. I picked up a 07 type s hood and trunk lid for $50 a piece in great shape plus the trunk has a back up camera. Just sprayed them down but will take stickers off and polish later on





I also weighed the stock crankshaft pulley at 7lbs 14.5 ounces. The unorthodox was 9 ounces so that’s a 7lbs savings on the rotating assembly

My new oem style taillights came in today so I can ditch the aftermarket black ones. Also my black passenger seat belt came in and i opened my diamond car mats black with red stitch floor mats

The j35a6 is in and running super smooth! Only issue now is with the clutch master cylinder. New clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder is ordered and will be here Sunday. Should get the TL back Monday

Sorry all. The misfire came back which led me to believe it had more in-depth issue and I had put too much money into this car and just couldn’t bring myself to dump more into it so I sold it. It was a fun ride but very costly

Guess it’s not a dedicated Autox.
