WHO HOO!

The guy from LKQ just called, they got the motor out yesterday, QC'd it & it will be in my mechanic's possession between 12 & 3pm TODAY!

They are not charging the 50.00!

I will drop the car off Monday at 9am and should have it back by Wednesday!

I was really beginning to think they were blowing me off.

This reaffirms my faith in businesses, I was thinking they just don't care.

The engine has landed!

I dropped the parts off & he is installing them, I drop the car off Monday at 9am!

04 Odyssey J35A4. Basically a 3.5 Type S motor.

It's getting new seals, belts gaskets, ETC. My headers, 09 IM, pulleys etc & going in.

Came from an Ody that was totaled last week with 53k.

Just the Castings for the motor mounts need to be taken from my motor & attached. (Per NVA-AV6 & I believe him!)

He says I should see significant increases at the wheels in HP & Torque. My motor runs great but has 181k, it's nearing the TB service so I figured why not get a fresh motor?

The old motor will goon a stand & I'll tear it down & see if it is ok to build. I am sure it is since the car was pretty quick. Then I'll slowly build it.

I found a data sheet that showed them as the same, here I'll fix it for you:





J32A1 '01-03' TL/CL: 34mm/30mm
J32A2 '01-03 TL-S/CL-S: 36mm/30mm
J32A4 '04+ TL: 35mm/30mm

J35A1 '99-01 Odyssey: 34mm/29mm
J35A4 '02-04 Odyssey: 36mm/30mm

Honda's J-Series: Just The Facts
The J-series is the successor to Honda's ubiquitous V-6, the C-series. First put into the '97 CL and '98 Accord, it's since unofficially became Honda's workhorse. Much like Nissan's VQ, you'll find the J in just about everything. The big difference between the Js and Cs is their angles. The C-series, which includes early Accords, the Legend, and the NSX, features 90-degree-opposed cylinder banks. The J-series measures in at a more compact 60 degrees, which means the heads are closer together and the overall package is smaller. Although there are rare homologations like the J25, the U.S. has only seen variations that range from 3.0 to 3.7 liters. In short, the J-series is excellent. They're all four-valve-per-cylinder, SOHC, configurations with VTEC on their intake sides. They have open-deck blocks with cast pistons and forged crankshafts; some even have forged rods. Prior to the latest 3.7-liter TL SH-AWD engine, they all had 89mm bores with the displacement discrepancies coming from stroke. The Type S engines have the best cams, but the secret is that the J35s feature the same heads and cams as the J32A2 Type S and swapping them over to a non-Type S J-series is entirely doable.
