Hi Scotty, does the new v6 engine from Honda come with a timing chain or a timing belt, as in most Honda V6s we have seen in the last few generations?
@@pinakibanerjee it’s a J series so yes.
@@pinakibanerjee if the answer wasn’t clear enough, it comes with a belt.
I like the closed loop servo controlled valve systems. All these mechanical systems, are primitive.
Hello, Scotty, Did you mean all new models Honda brand? How about the hatchbacks? Only the 2023 or also 2022 and 2021?
I'm a 82 year old Toyota man but I've never owned a Honda. However, I rate them to be cars that will do 500,000 miles with proper care and would not hesitate to own one. I really enjoy your videos and sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put into them. Americans should thank you Scotty.
82!! That’s awesome. My grandpa is 85. Cool generation.
I second that Americas grandpa that help us work on are car when no one else wanted to help Scotty made a video for it.
Oh we do
@Richard Blake it’s funny my name is Blake and my grandma is 82 as well. You guys are both legends.
It's the Japanese that are thanking Scotty..... especially Toyota. LOL
That has to be the best explanation of the VTEC and the new Honda engine I have ever heard. Another great video Scotty.
Only that it mentions being an intake only based system right in the last 5 seconds. Minus 1 point for that. Out of a 1000 points :)
I never knew how VTEC worked until I bought a Honda with 300,000mi on it and changed the head gasket. At some point in that process, i picked up the cam/rocker assembly without compressing it and it essentially exploded all over the garage floor. A solid hour later I had it put all back together again - and officially understood how the thing worked. lol
there are much better ones on line,, just do a search... and this drama queen,. will say anything.. then a week or two later say this or that to crap...just a drama queen
👆That's true jsed, very true.
Agreed.
48 years old and I love both Honda and Toyota. They make the best power train's there is. And will outlast the chassis. If they're maintained properly. I've never had any problems. Out of any of them I ever owned.
Mazda is act better than both now
@@kid5042 Mazda worst car there is.
@@myronhelton4441 Maybe back in the 90s or early 2000s but Masada now works partially with Toyota and is routinely ranked as the most reliable car or number 2, Honda isn’t even top 5 anymore.
@@kid5042 Thanks for replying to me. Mazda must be reliable. I think Mazda has the best car, with some kind of new injectors like a diesel. but is it the most reliable, that worried me. I thought I had read something a few years ago that Mazda was number one. You are right, Mazda top car for 3 years, but you slipped in reading (I am joking), because if you had checked in the last 3 days the new 2023 list that Mazda isnt on the list. the 2023 survey that dont even mention Mazda. To me that is kind of weird how a car jumps off the list, That makes me wonder If Consumer Reports is brilliant or dumb. But Consumer Reports was the only one of a bunch of huge surveys that didnt mention Mazda. It worries me that I dont see many Mazdas. It is interesting that Mazda went in with Toyota. I dont know, but I heard that Consumer Reports was flawed, they only report on cars less that 1 year old. Toyota & Ford are the only car makers that dont make their own transmissions, some company that makes the best transmissions make transmissions only for these 2 companies. I like the Aluminum body Toyota that has a bigger version of the Subaru flat engine in it. I dont like cvt transmissions. I dont know if dual fuel injection is reliable. If any car is any good they quit making it. Wonder if any car in the last 10 years is any good. Consumer Reports released its list of the top car brands for 2023 on Thursday. Taking the top five spots, in order, are BMW, Subaru, Mini, Lexus, and Honda. Taking the bottom five spots are Mitsubishi, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Jeep, and Land Rover, with Land Rover at the very bottom.Feb 17, 2023. I wanted a Civic 2.4 engine dual fuel injection that they stopped making it & I wonder if the new Civic is as good. I heard the first few years the redesign was awful.
@@myronhelton4441 Wrong again. That’s the list of the best cars not the most reliable cars. BMW are widely unreliable but they are good cars and are fun asf to drive. In 2023 Mazda was still in the top 5 for most reliable cars
I love the 1.8 that was in my 2008 Honda Civic. I would've kept that coupe if I hadn't promised it to my son. That car had enough oomph for me. I also love the 2.4 that is in my wife's 2009 CRV. It has 180,000 miles on it & and is still going strong.
Yes 2009 civic 200k miles on my uncles ...no issues ..boat cars ...tbh
Safer reasonably technical but solid performance
For 1.8 the engine is just awesome
Shoot bro my accord has like 175k and it feels great. Sadly im going to try to sell it. Could use the money for a lot of things. I need to upgrade back to a motorycle.
Have a 2005 with 150,000 feels brand new
i agree the r series engines were so dependable.
I’m 51 year man, always owned a Honda Si. I loved the Vtec and enjoyed the screaming high rpm’s. I now own a 10th gen civic Si. Absolutely love it.
As far as Toyota, I have never owned one. I like them as well and wouldn’t have any issues owning one. The point, I love Japanese cars.
You knocked the explanation of vtec out of the park with this one Scotty and team. Awesome job to all of you that worked on producing this excellent video.
thank you!
I work at the factory building the new engine, and actually the whole new Pilot. I do various processes required to put it together. The new design is easier to build, that much I know. Thanks for doing this video.
How about its reliability vs the old VTEC?
@@hellobenny Time will tell.
@@hellobenny it is still a Honda engine but with new fuel injection tech, instead of vtec, ftec? Any ways power is no longer the subject, high mpg is all the crazy now. (100mpg coming soon)
@@pc7225it's not good on gas either
@@pc7225the previous J35 was still direct injected so hopefully reliability won’t be surprising
Good to see Honda still producing good internal combustion engines.
Long before the internal combustion engine cars are recycled, they will outlast generations of EVs. ICE is forever.
I like Mitsubishi power trains.
@@perpetualgrin5804 I dislike Mitsubishi take over attempts
@@perpetualgrin5804 Mitsubishi is junk
6:03 - 6:13 here are the actual engines he shows:
1: D16y7/y8. most commonly found in 6th gen civics
2: C30/32 Very uncommon engine, used in Acura legends and NSX's
3: k20/23/24 found in tons of hondas after 2003 like the element, accord, cr-v, tsx, rsx, rdx
4: F20c/22c found only in the s2000, notable for having the highest HP per liter of any engine when it came out
5: J30/32/35/37 the main v6 honda has used since the early 2000's, actually an american based design, vs the others being japanese designs. found in every mid to large honda and acura. pilot, accord, odyssey, mdx, TL and RL
Accurate!
@@demarkusthompson2867 It has a J35
No. 4. Only naturally aspirated!
感恩，謝謝分享！
B16 engine
To come up with such an elegant VTEC cam system like that is unbelievable. Genius.
I have a 05 Element. I went 20k miles befor a peddle to the metal interstate merg. Wow, what a sound. So sweeet.
Scotty I just love this video!!! I have a 99 Civic SI and it is just a beauty!!! 183 K and she still kicking like a monster!!!!
Not even broke in
Honda has my heart because I’ve had several of their motorcycles they fixed friends of mine when they had a recall and it didn’t cost them a dime
I am turning 60 in August and love my S2000 which loves when the V-Tech kicks in. Pure smiles... keep up the great work Scotty..
I have the best of both worlds: A 2003 Acura TL Type S with a 3.2-liter VTEC V6 and a 2004 Toyota 4Runner Sport with a 4.7-liter V8. I bought both vehicles new and haven't had any problems with either.
I’m a proud owner of a 2006 Honda S2000. Words cannot describe the way the car makes the driver feel. Pure joy and highest smiles per gallon is the closet description and I absolutely LOVE it(201k miles).
Also a proud owner of a 2014 Toyota Prius. The best TRUCK I’ve ever owned. The thing can haul so many things it’s UNBELIEVABLE! Also it’s the best daily car I’ve ever owned. 45 mpg all day and I’m not even trying (250k miles). I absolutely love both cars and both manufacturers.
Alright I'll be the one to ask... You're doing what now with your Prius?
@@andyortlieb3768 great question! I daily drive it still, on a waiting list for the new 2023 Prius. as far as hauling goes I run a convenience store and often have to go shopping for the business. I put the rear seats down and fill the car up with merchandise. I once hauled 32 cases of Tito's vodka 750ml in that thing. Simply amazing
I don't think a Prius is a truck. You mean Tacoma or tundra?
@@shawn1869 hahaha I know its not a truck but it works as one for me.
Considering the established reliability and efficiency of engines from the world's largest engine manufacturer, I'm excited by the next generation of Honda engines!
I can't believe how intricate and detailed your videos are. I too was a 30+ year mechanic who recently retired., though I still take care of my own car. I find that all of your videos are truthful, accurate and fun to watch, as I still love to learn about cars and machinery.
When I was in high school I had a 1969 Honda 600 Sedan. I bought it from my next door who brought it back from Asia when he was in the military. It was one of the best cars I have ever owned. It was as small as a Mini but had lots of room inside. It had a back seat. It had a two cylinder Honda motorcycle engine top-end and a chain primary drive. It would run an honest 80mph and scare you to death. I miss that car.
Good video! I enjoyed it but more details on why the new engine is more efficient would have been nice!
It's not efficient on mpg sadly. That thing guzzles gas.
Love em both Scotty! Both Toyota and Honda make excellent engines. With good maintenance, both will see 500K!
I'm on my fourth Honda. The last year the v6 was made with the vtec and I love it!
Scotty, Love your videos, very educational. I own a 2007 Honda Pilot and I have no regrets. I recently purchased a 2022 Honda Accord Touring and I am really enjoying the 2.0 engine. It really has some get up and go. The only thing I dislike about the Pilot is the rubber timing belt!
I just bought the 2023 honda pilot touring! Man I’m telling you this is a solid suv with great performance! Very impressive! I love the car!
Picked mine up yesterday. Love it!
Thank you Scotty for all this good news!!!
I currently have 2 hondas and 2 Toyotas. Over the years I've always just had these two car makers. I can say that hondas handle better.... But I love reliability and I find them both incredibly reliable. Both makers are easy to work on. Its a draw for me.
I also have 2 of each!

@@monahengramokhoro yeah
Bought my first Honda in 1986, brand new accord LX -I 4 door with 4 sp. auto what a gem that was. In 1992 we got a new Toyota Camry XLE V-6 and wow that car lasted over 300k with just a timing belt replacement. To this day we have stayed with both brands ,just remarkable engineering and longevity.
My first was an 87 LXI hatchback 5 speed. Great on gas and a blast to drive. Miss that car. Recently sold my 92 Camry LE with 235k zero issues. Both brands are remarkably well made. Can't go wrong either way.
@@jellyroll5247 I actually wanted a 5 sp accord at the time but didn’t want to wait for it
Hey Scotty, great graphics, nice tech explanation, very thorough research. Can I gently suggest that you speak at a slower pace? That will make it a great video. Somehow the voice in the video is irritating because of the faster pace, without pauses or voice modulation. Hope you take this in a positive manner. Looking forward to more such tech stuff from you.
I got my 05 Civic si a year ago and I still love it. Swapping out the k20a3 with a Frankenstein k24a that I built
Still love my '06 Acura RSX Type S with the K20 Z1 engine, what a blast!
Cheers!!
Another brilliantly thought out and narrated automotive video!
I am really a top fan our yours, and as a retired Ford Engineer, I certainly appreciate your candor and your extreme knowledge of products from a variety of auto and truck manufacturers!
Keep up your great videos, Scotty!
I'm surprised someone on here isn't giving you a hard time for some design you did that is impossible to work on. Big Ford fan and owner here, but some of newer stuff is lacking.

Hello Scotty! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the masses. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for teaching us Soo much!!!
Scotty! I love this format! Very Informative and Well Done!
Seems like Honda has always been leaders in valve control systems. I remember way back in the 80's when they had jet valves-tiny valves that were supposed to increase the velocity of the air/fuel mixture entering the combustion chamber. They stayed crusted up with carbon and didn't seal.
@The Real VR Jet valves-Actual valves in the combustion chamber with tiny springs, valves, and seat that were actuated by the camshaft. The entire assembly actually, seat and all, threaded out of the head in one piece. They were so tiny they just stayed plugged with hard carbon. In high school I worked afternoons at a machine shop reworking cylinder heads and I hated those. They were near impossible to clean and we had no tools small enough to machine them so we just had to lap them in with compound.
great video and great technology scotty 👍
My first car was a 1995 civic ex coup and my second was a 1991 civic dx hatchback. My most current vehicle is a 2013 civic si hfp coup. It has a stock k24z7, 6 speed manual transmission, suspension and 18 inch wheels that come with the hfp package. It's super fun to drive.
As they say on the great "Might Car Mods" channel ... "VTEC Yo !"
9th Gen si's are slept on. So fun to drive. Slick gearbox, easy clutch, ton of torque, handle great, good on gas. Very fun and economical daily driver, hard to beat
Really enjoy these history lessons
Great video Scotty! Been a Honda fan boy for over 30 years.
I haven’t read all the comments, not sure if anyone has brought this up but you displayed some of the wrong engines in your references.
I know this engine truly will hold up because Honda is an iconic engine manufacturer, and they make tried and true engines!! Naturally aspirated V6 engines are reliable!
Own Honda from 2003. Better car than Honda is new Honda!
Very informative! Plus, live the cool graphics & visuals. Thank you Scotty!
Thanks for giving us specs we already knew
I hope you pay your editor well if its not you. Its great.
Very well done Scotti as usual!
Love the Honda's
Been a Honda fan since I got my Civic back in 2002. Now I have five Hondas in my garage, another parked outside, and a custom one being built. Awesome content but the engines depicted are wrong. That's a K20 above the Integra and a J35 above the Accord.
We have 3 at our household the 3 of them with VTEC. WE LOVE THEM and we are so... "Proud and overwhelmed" by the engineering level of the company, that we really doubt that we will buy any other brand in the future.
Do you like the 2023 Honda Pilot overall? Thinking about getting one later this year. Also looking at that versus a 2024 Toyota Grand Hylander coming out later this year.
Both are great. Honda's last a long time. Toyota's lasts for ever. Honda for fun and style and it lasts. Toyota for this is the last car I ever "Have" to buy. I am still a gas hog though. I'll take an LS any day. Js. Rocking an LS Full size but also a RDX turbo. Both are fun and I know I'll have them both a long time. But Let me find an early 90's Camry and I'm all over it.
Great video Scotty! 🔥💪
Hi Scotty from Down Under 🇦🇺🦘. Great video. I had a 2003 Honda VFR 800 with VTEC. Such a great sound when it kicked at 6800 RPM. Still averaged 5 L / 100 km. Sold it with 90 000 kms on it. Used no oil and started first time every time. Great motorbike and engineering.
I owned a 2005 VFR, you're right the sound and power over 6,800 RPM were magnificent!
I have a 1989 honda integra xsi engine in my crx. Mated to a crx siR 5 speed manual. Still pulls like no other engine ive ever owned. Something about that 8k rpm top end scream just gets you right in the feels.
You need to own some more engines then 🤷♂️
Great car. My friend bought one new in 91.
@@Gideon_Judges6 you didn't get it at all
I like Pilot intro when they show the front wheel coming an inch off the ground in slow motion. Meanwhile you'd see old GM and Ford advertisements of them jumping their trucks a few feet in the air or driving them across some bumpy surfaces showing how good the suspension works.
Very interesting, Scotty!
Thanks for keeping us informed, Scotty.
I remember when Honda came out with the car we could ride around all day on two dollars worth of gas that was amazing it was a very small car but always ran
Yes the hf civics, back in the 80's mpg closer as a modern hybrid
7th gen em2 owner over here. I can tell you that if fuel economy is anything your interested in, these older Hondas are the way to go. Mine is a 5 speed manual and as of now om getting around 45mpg in it.
Biggest disadvantage to the vtec is the 3rd oem gasket im on with it
Well said, as usual!
Will you be reviewing the new gen accord Scotty?
I've owned both.
I loved my 1982 Honda Accord Hatchback.
I had a Toyota Corolla and that car was indestructible.
Now that I'm a 70 year old man.
I prefer the Toyota Tacoma 4door TRD Sport with the naturally aspirated 3.5 ltr V6.
In 4x4.
Well i still have both a 2012 Civic Si that's tuned (205whp) and also fairly high milleage (470k km) and a 2021 Prius Prime. Both are very reliable, they also serve totaly different needs in my garage. The Civic being very Fun and the Prime being an economical and relatively comfy daily driver.
I'll stick with the J35 in my Ridgeline. It makes plenty of power and angry sounds at higher RPM, and is docile and economical at lower speeds.
I just bought a new Civic Si. This is the first Honda I have ever owned and it’s been great so far. Always have bought American car brands in the past however after owning this I may be a Honda guy for life. Thanks for another great video Scotty, your channel is one of the best on TH-cam!
get a ktuner and it'll wake the car up beyond belief.
I have a 10th gen Civic Si which a TSP Stage 1+, ACT Clutch Kit, and a cold air intake (street). All which brought my car to life.
Also, change the full synthetic oil sooner than 5,000 miles or whatever the owner manual says. Also do the same with draining and filling transmission. It will last 4ever
I have a 2009 Honda Ridgeline.Working in Autobody. I Love the V-tec v-6 Power band and Reliability! Normally an Old Mustang type of Guy, but Love the Honda dependabilty
Great video on VTEC. Honda recently put a turbo V6 some Acura models. It would be great to understand why Honda hasn’t put this engine in the minivan and pick up truck as an upgrade option.
I think I like the idea of a naturally asperated engine Scotty. Do you think it will be a good one? I wouldn't mind checking one out when there available here in Canada. 😎👍
He's not answering you , this isn't a letter to a pen pal lmao
@The Real VR a thank u doesn't count lol that's all he left, just cause he scolls thru and clicks on a heart doesn't mean he's answering these dumb hoes lol
I’m sure that Honda did an insane amount of testing, but Scotty generally recommends waiting a few years on new products so that seems like the safe bet here.
Feeding the TH-cam algorithm. Informative video. Thanks.
Peace and love Scotty love been in your classroom ❤
2019 TLX here. 3.5 V tec. Goes like a cut cat. Love it.
Can you do a video like this on Subaru and other Japanese manufacturers? I really enjoyed this thank you ❤
I’m a Honda guy tbh, I generally like the driving dynamics of there products more than Toyota. At any rate I’m always cautious about tech that has anything to do with government forced regulation, it always seems to create more complexity and hidden downsides. With that said, who knows, maybe Honda got it right on this one.
Exactly what I was thinking as soon as Scotty mentioned "better emissions". This is code for bureaucrats=happy and consumers=worse product
Generally I would tend to agree except in this instance they are using a well proven and researched DOHC design that many cars have used. I have no doubt it will prove to be as trouble free as the 4.0 VR Toyota has in the 4Runner.
@@johnhughes3776 exactly my thought as well. Simpler is usual better. I just hope they get the DI set up right.
My daughter just bought an 04 CR-V, a few weeks ago for $2k.
The only Honda before this was my 83 Nighthawk.
Her "truckette" has over 300k miles. We're going thru it, things like wheel bearings are worn. But it starts, runs, shifts cleanly.
It seems like despite it's age, it'll be reasonably dependable ride for her even if it's quickly placed in "ready reserve" for snowy days.
With maintenance, 150k to go.

It has 370k on it..
@@anthonydilligaf823 yep. They last. I here those type of numbers on these cars all the time.
370k !?! Amazing@@anthonydilligaf823
Real informative
gonna miss vtec and PFI. I can only hope these dont have carbon buildup and oil consumption issues like so many other gdi motors have
Great video
Your editor put the wrong picture up for when you talked about the b-18. That’s a k-20 in the picture you show. Just so you know. With the red valve cover and the I-vtec logo on the intake manifold cover.
They still haven't fixed the problems with gas/oil mix on CRVs
Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I drink the shots of whiskey and roll up the Number and get all schmoked up
I am a big fan of Toyota and Honda. I own both Toyotas and Hondas and have had very good service from both and although they are different from each other, it is my view that Hondas are a better car. The stuts last longer on Hondas and they are easier to service. The engine oil and filter are easier to change on a Honda and the automatic transmission is easier to service. I currently have a 2013 Cuvic as my work car and have almost 200k on it. I have replaced the spark plugs once and soon will be replacing them again. Full synthetic oil and change about every 7500 miles. The transmisdiin fluid change every 40k. The only thing I have replaced is the left rear shock absorber at 120k as it showed signs of leaking. The rear brake pads at 110k and the fronts at 164k. The car is mostly highway miles and uses no oil between changes. The auto climate control works better on the Civic than our 2013 Toyota Avalon Limited. I like both of those cars but feel the Honda has better engineering.
Toyota is not making their engines more DYI friendly. Take the oil and tranny changes. All the hassle and oil filter cartridge junk you have to go thru just for an oil change is not for me. It makes Honda more attractive to me as a vehicle that I can do things, myself.
this is the scotty I remember, good show!
Not Scotty flexing his informative video series with deep knowledge.... AGAIN!!....👍👍
There are two variants of VTEC. One is for performance and the other is for economy. For example: the K24A2 makes 200 HP while the K24A4 makes 160 HP.
Hello Scotty from Mooresville NC USA
Evening!
J series is a great engine. 2 issues though. Timing belt replacement is still required and the problematic Vcm is still implemented although it's been refined since it's conception
Yes! I wish they would ditch the VCM. I believe it caused premature wear to camshaft lobes in the earlier models.
I liked seeing you ring the bell at the end of the video :)
Iconic
I will take reliability over performance any day of the week.
I had a 93 civic si. D16 motor. From what I understood vtec was only in the exhaust side if the engine? It was a neat car for its time
beautiful video
Did Honda replace the timing belt on the V6 with a timing chain on this new engine?
Now that would be an improvement to a guy like me.
No, the new Honda 3.5l V6 still uses a timing belt!
@@mark8684 Thanks Mark.
Nice
I am really proud and happy with my 2001 Honda Stream K20A1. Nice and precise car for what it was meant to be!
I've got a 2012 Accord coupe with the 3.5 V6 with 271 HP, non VTEC since it's an automatic, to get the VTEC ya have to get the 6 speed manual. Wish I'd known that when I bought it
