Have your local acura dealership run a VIN status inquiry.

its a recall. no time limit, call a local acura dealer and get it done. its free.

@@AN-ce1nd going on 5 years and 12k miles on the incorrect epoxy.

Fully understandable and expected reply. It’s the usual bandwagon effect. Again, Porsche doesn’t use epoxy. The new parts are secured with an anaerobic adhesive. Reactant to metal to metal contact and in absence of oxygen. Epoxy as you probably know is a catalyst type reaction. The epoxy doesn’t form any chemical reaction to the aluminum. The original issue was inadequate gluing techniques by the offsite manufacturer. The pinning will exacerbate the situation further.

@@AN-ce1nd you must be real fun at parties.

@@혁준이-w6c you can’t smell it when you’re taking people to grapplebees

@NSXavier997 Doesn't it smell bad outside? I think my car smells so bad after being catless

No problem! Thanks for watching and I'm glad it was informative for you. Sorry to hear about your car. Sounds like it'll need a crank. Check out my other video on crank replacement if you want to know more about that procedure.

@@NSXavier997 Even if the car wont crank up anymore?

@@ridge_r4cer yea there’s a possibility that they might just be doing a crank. Really depends on the bearing photos that are submitted and reviewed by the bearing inspection team and whether any of the rods are broken.

@@NSXavier997 Gotcha, thank you sir! I hope my local dealer does the right thing.

@ yes let us know how it goes. In all dealerships defense… it’s not really us who makes the call on which repair procedure gets done. It’s American Honda that has the final say.

I do :)

@@louislitz7617 as far as I know the normal powertrain warranty carries forward. 6 years / 70k miles. Performing the recall repair doesn’t extend the warranty.

Thank you and I'm glad you found the video informative and it helped you with saving on the timing belt package on your TLX. As for the instructions that are provided to perform the crankshaft replacements; my personal opinion is that it is a very crude way of doing things and is the bare minimum approach that has been taken to appease the NHTSA. Fact of the matter is that this affects so many cars that they have had to find a way to keep costs as low as possible and this is the result. The proper way to have done this was to just install crate engines on every affected car... but that would just be too expensive. The way this is carried out absolves the manufacturer of any liability while transferring that liability to the Technician that is carrying out the repair. I can't speak on the original assembly process, as that is done at the factory- however, I can say that with my years of experience in the field and with many engines rebuilt under my own two hands, the documented way that the procedure is written in all of the service manuals I have ever used for engine assembly instructs to: measure and mic the crank, measure fore-aft play of the crank, plastigauge the main and rod journal bearings, and balance the rotating assembly. On a mass production scale, I highly doubt that these measures are taken, as all the components are manufactured to a specific tolerance and weight... so they can kind of just bolt things up without having to measure and weigh everything while achieving a high success rate.

haha YUP. I tell her all the time that the garage project is her fault. Thanks for watching!

@@AutomotiveAnatomy the fact that you’re commenting on my video right now means a lot 🥲. I’ve been watching your channel since day 1 bro. And yea… the boards under the Porsche flag are just temporary. I plan to get a one piece faux trim in a dark color when I do the ceiling. Thanks for watching man I appreciate it. 🙏🏽

@@NSXavier997 I am doing some stuff on my garage so I been getting garage remodel videos and yours came up lol Thanks for the support bro, literally this is the first time i come across your videos. Love it thus far.

@@a124as Ngl I kind of love it. The car runs so well when it’s chill out. No traction but… still mad fun. When it starts snowing and when there’s salt all over the roads is when it sucks.

@@OhYeahAboutThat hell yea thanks for the tip I’m gonna look into that.

@@NSXavier997 I’ll send you pics on IG

@@rommelmiranda3286 ayyeee thank you and I’m glad you liked it!!

@@M4csdtn love to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the video and that it has lended some inspiration to you. 🍻

Thanks! My solution to not wanting to do more drywall work: glue something over it lol.

Thank you I'm glad you like it! Nice catch on the Koston Thai Temples.. those are from a time of (what I think) was the best era of car culture before instagram-car-content was even a thing... where you had to actually go to events to see everyone's builds.. now they're just an app away. If the channel gets big enough I might branch off into other things I'm into like shoes, watches, and BBQ.

No issues. But yea I think the car has had a replacement engine... currently running a "G" motor? If that makes sense... I don't know too much about anything outside of the Mezger.

@@NSXavier997 yeah contemplating on a 991.1 but not sure if it’s worth the motor issues.

@@EMena911 thanks!

@@Jupiterider1 thank you! Glad you like the setup.

@@Piotrowsquad I’m running 255’s and 325’s Michelin PS4S

@@articdc5 errrday when I leave early 🤣

@@ionexdavid yeeppp… getting the lift to work was.. a challenge lol. Glad you enjoyed the tour!

@@HOOKJUNKY 🙌🏼

flexing both rollies in ehhh

@@OMY2FYB Filmed over 3 days. Nice catch.

I'm not too sure you can order the specific parts that are on the recall. You would have to tear the engine down to find out what specific crank and bearings you'll need and then order those individually from the standard parts catalog.

@@BCautosolutions you know the moment you pop the hood and it reeks of rodent excrement.

@@NSXavier997 I can smell it now 😅

@@LA-vd3ls yes. View my channel description for contact info

I should do a video on the entire Integra Type-S debacle. Long story short, Honda was being a bunch of Karen's and didn't like the content and gave me a cease and desist.

Ahhhh….this makes total sense. I was really excited for more content as this car was on my near future radar as well. I get how the employment could complicate things. If you don’t mind, can you share with me the wheel offset you used because it looked PERFECT. I don’t want to go spacers and I haven’t seen any other content creators go the same offset that you did. Thanks!!!

@@notabenex1 thanks for watching! The video makes it seem like I hated the Kline but I actually didn’t hate it I liked it for what it was… it’s just that the BBi was way better in my opinion. As far as best mods I’d say it’s definitely the upgraded turbos, intercoolers and gt2 slave cylinder + upgraded clutch. Those just make the car so fun. As far favorite mods I’d say the GT2 seats and BBS wheels.
