In this episode, we’re diving deep into the heart of a 2013 Acura RDX equipped with the 3.5L V6 (J35) that came in with engine knocking and high oil consumption issues.
We’ll completely tear down the engine from the valve covers to the crankshaft and pinpoint the exact cause of failure. Along the way, we’ll share useful teardown tips, inspection methods, and tricks that any DIYer or technician can learn from.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on inside a knocking engine, or why certain Acura and Honda engines develop oil burning issues, this is the video for you.
As always, tips and tricks come standard on every episode.
