Part Description
This Grade A engine assembly was removed from a 2006 Acura RL with 189,000 miles. The complete 3.5L V6 motor (VIN code 1, 6th digit) comes from engine ID 2000012 and up. This unit has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship.
Engine replacements are typically needed due to catastrophic internal failure, timing belt failure causing valve damage, or severe overheating. The Acura RL’s 3.5L V6 is known for its smooth operation and reliability, but high mileage units can experience issues with timing components, oil consumption, or internal wear that make replacement more cost-effective than rebuilding.
