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?

[@seikojason]

@@pinakibanerjee it’s a J series so yes.

[@5KYRDR]

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

[@myronhelton4441]

@@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.

[@kid5042]

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.

[@greggc8088]

@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.

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.

[@sharpconfit]

this is a solid video. having owned both a honda and toyota, the honda is definitely more comfortable to drive, though i think the toyota engine was more responsive.

[@deputydan2226]

Ev is temporary Honda and Toyota know this. Ev is fairly new, and while ALOT of owners are having battery problems, there isn't enough on the road to cause an uproar to faze it out yet.

[@redcatxb125]

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

[@VEEZER1]

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

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

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. 😎👍

[@cormaro13]

@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

[@BJL2142]

animation on vtec locking is wrong, its right in that a piston gets pushed by oil pressure from rocker 1 into the central rocker but a piston does not push from the other side into the central one as welll as shown, instead the central rocker also has a piston that gets pushed by pin 1 out of the central rocker into rocker 2 that has another piston with a spring on the backside, so when oil is fed to piston 1 it displaces piston 2 inside the central rocker into the final rocker that receives it and has a spring on the end to push it out and into its returned state once oil pressure is reduced.

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.

[@josephlagas2719]

Exactly what I was thinking as soon as Scotty mentioned "better emissions". This is code for bureaucrats=happy and consumers=worse product

[@johnhughes3776]

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.

[@yourdiytechlife]

@@johnhughes3776 exactly my thought as well. Simpler is usual better. I just hope they get the DI set up right.

I’ve owned 2 honda accords ( early 2000’s ) , 1 2008 Toyota Corolla, a dodge Dakota pickup and currently my daily driver is a 2009 Honda civic coupe. The worst was the dodge Dakota buy far… it was a complete rust bucket at only 15 years old, I bought it used as I’ve done with all the cars I’ve owned. The 2 Honda accords I delivered Pizza in full time for a number of years, 1st one I bought at around 150k miles and drove it till 220k before repair bill got to expense the the engine was still running good. 2nd accord I really beat the car up with stop and go driving for 5 or mores a day every day for years before the transmission started slipping at around 240m miles.

Hello Scotty from Mooresville NC USA

[@scottykilmer]

Evening!

[@tridentt55]

i had a 1999 CRV 2.0 for 20 years don't know why i got rid of it was good on gas and ran great it was my wife's car then my sons then i drove it . I finally got rid of it and got a 2018 Chrysler 300 v6 so far, a good car very smooth. i bought my wife a 2017 Honda CRV with the 2.4 great engine good car and good on gas. all in all, I would buy another Honda thinking of a hybrid or turbo waiting to see if the new CRV is any good.

[@brianklamer3328]

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.

[@mark8684]

No, the new Honda 3.5l V6 still uses a timing belt!

[@brianklamer3328]

Well said, as usual! Will you be reviewing the new gen accord Scotty?

[@markhallberg8195]

Honda. All day. And I love VTEC engines. I've had many of your favorites.

Can you do a video like this on Subaru and other Japanese manufacturers? I really enjoyed this thank you ❤

[@jeffbarkley3915]

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

[@RoderikvanReekum]

Great video

[@martincassels7995]

I’m from the UK and I’ve got and s2000, 2.0l 240bhp at 9000rpm. Emissions and turbos killed it. If only Honda had done a 3.0 v6, 3.5 v8, v10, v12, you get the picture. My e46 m3 has BMWS thing with 340bhp at 8300rpm. Man I loves na high revs!

[@witmal99]

I will take reliability over performance any day of the week.

[@southernkei]

Any engine that says i-vtec is also running a variable timing control on the exhaust cam. This new v6 engine drops the intake side vtec but keeps the exhaust phasing.

We use both Honda and Lexus. Both with a V6 Engine. The Honda Pilot is much softer and quite drive and the RX350. The Rx350 has a rumbling sound around 1800 to 2200 RPM, which was partially reduced with a Technical Bulletin. The Lexus has a sport mode that makes it much faster and switching gear less often. Both of us are retired and the speed is not much of concern. We are keeping cars an average of 12 Years. We have 8 Years extended warranty on the Honda and 11 Years on the Lexus ! My older son had a Honda Accord who refused to die, but it was replaced with a newer one, just because it had two or more accidents and he refused to pay for repairs. My younger son drives a Civic.

[@JayzBeerz]

Nice

[@marc-oliviercabot3380]

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.

[@markstoltzfus5276]

This is a great engine
