New Guy 08 tl

Hello my name is Richard Flores. I recently purchased an 08 Acura TL with a bad engine. Something with the timing is wrong. Will be installing a j35.

Welcome to the 3G TL club.

Regarding your engine swap, be careful, not just any J35 will bolt into your car and be compatible with the electronics and such. Which J35 are you thinking to use?
