Buying a used Honda engine
Honda four-cylinders are among the most reliable engines we source, so most Honda replacements are accident donors rather than failures. The V6 is the exception worth understanding before you buy.
J35 3.5L V6
The engines fitted with Variable Cylinder Management are widely reported to consume oil and foul plugs, because cylinders repeatedly deactivating affects oil control. Owners commonly report the symptom appearing around 50,000 to 60,000 miles. Whether a given donor has VCM is the question that matters.
K24 2.4L I4
One of the strongest engines in this catalog. Reported weak points are peripheral rather than structural: oil seal leaks, exhaust camshaft wear on neglected oil intervals, and VTEC solenoid screens clogging when service was skipped.
1.5L Turbo I4
Fuel dilution of the engine oil in cold-climate, short-trip use is the widely reported concern on this family. It is a use-pattern issue as much as a design one, so donor history matters.
Before you order
On the J35, confirm whether your vehicle and the donor both run VCM. Mixing a VCM engine into a non-VCM application, or the reverse, creates problems that have nothing to do with the engine being sound.

FAQ
Used Honda engines & transmissions
How much does a used Honda engine cost?
Price tracks the engine family more than the model year, and on Honda that usually means which of the J35 3.5L V6, K24 2.4L I4 and 1.5L Turbo I4 you need. Displacement alone does not settle it, because the same badge can cover variants that differ in cost and availability. Tell us the year, model and VIN and you get a firm quote on the engine your vehicle actually takes, with availability confirmed before you pay.
Which Honda engines do you carry?
We regularly source Honda engines across the lineup, including the 3.5L V6, 3.0L V6, 2.4L I4, 2.3L I4, 2.2L I4 Turbo Diesel, 2.2L I4. If you don't see your exact engine, tell us the year, model, and VIN and a specialist confirms the right one before you pay.
Do you sell used Honda transmissions too?
Yes. Alongside used and remanufactured Honda engines, we source manual, automatic, and CVT Honda transmissions matched to your vehicle, backed by the same 12-month parts-replacement warranty.
Will the engine fit my exact Honda?
Fitment is confirmed before you pay. On the J35, confirm whether your vehicle and the donor both run VCM. Mixing a VCM engine into a non-VCM application, or the reverse, creates problems that have nothing to do with the engine being sound. Give us the year, model and 17-digit VIN and a specialist matches the correct engine to your exact application.
Are your used engines and transmissions tested?
Yes. Every used engine and transmission is compression- and oil-pressure tested and put through a rigorous inspection process by automotive experts before they ship.
What warranty comes with a part?
Every engine and transmission includes a 12-month parts-replacement warranty, plus lifetime support from ASE-certified experts. Approved claims are handled by replacement or store credit - we do not issue cash refunds. Labor is not covered on the standard warranty. You can upgrade to 3-year parts and labor coverage for $499 at the time of purchase. Full warranty details are provided with your order.
Can I get a longer warranty that covers labor?
Yes. The standard coverage is 12 months on parts. For $499 you can upgrade to a 3-year warranty that covers both parts and labor, purchased at the time of your order. Ask your specialist to add it when you confirm your part.
