Clean as a whistle. I love this car to death.
Very interesting how Honda built a separate oil galley casting that bolts to the bottom of the main bearing supports for oiling, rather than run galleys thru the block like most other manufacturers. Probably explains why these engines last so long, having those nice big high-flow passages everywhere.
Another non car guy here (although I take pride in the fct that I change brakes and oil myself), what’s that thing in the middle that looks like thebdace of a sad frog?
That is the oil pick up. So with the oil pan on, that pick up sucks oil up to be run through the engine.
Oil pickup. It takes the oil from the pan and delivers it through the engine via an oil pump. Honestly it looks like the screen has some metal debris. And depending on the mileage, could be a little concerning.
I know nothing about cars.
How is this different from any other car?
That’s cool, I’ve ever seen separate oil passages like that either.
