1. This camera man is the shit getting in all the angles

2. 9:29 that's what she said

3. Eric what was that brown or red clip you disconnected at 29:48! Pls respond would help so much🙏

4. Imagine going to get ur car and u get that face from him🤣🤣 here’s ur car byeeeeeeeeeee🤣🤣🤣🤪

5. Used a garage consistently for oil changes. They were going out of businesses and had one of my also oil changes there. They used an impact on my drain plug and cross threaded it.

6. Eric’s favorite tool.
   The plastic clip remover lol.

7. I used to have a 2004 Acura TL. It seized sadly 🙁

8. A pickle fork would help alot with those lower ball joints 🤣😂

9. About that ball joint that wouldn't come loose… two jaw puller. I know, they usually let go after a few hits with the 3lb hammer, but if it's fused in place the puller will get it done. Wouldn't be surprised if a puller from HF broke while attempting this. I just had a 1/2'' breaker bar break in half on a lug nut. Now I'm questioning all of my HF tools.

10. Do you have to refill the Aircon gas after removing the engine ?

11. Nice indoor workshop like that with hydraulic lifts but you are using a shitty DeWalt impact gun and didn't even try to mention a ball joint splitter

12. Hey do you know if the 2004 Acura tl engine compatible with 2002 acrua tl type s?

13. STOP DOING THAT!

14. I'm glad I found these videos cuz I'm about to do this same thing same car six-speed manual thank you for making videos about it!

15. yo Eric is it possible for a 2002 Acura TL engine to fit in an 2004 even w the runner?

16. Complimenti sei molto professionale

17. guess i’m a little late to the fun since this video is 4 years old lol

18. U know…just did a motor job on a Honda odyssey..and I c this video and noticed that the Same engine…too funny

19. How much hearing did ya lose trying to get that lower ball joint out? 😬

20. I know exactly how you feel when it comes to the drain plugs. I work on diesel pickups and when I go to change the oil on a pre 2011 powerstroke and I have to get up and go back to my tool box because the drain plug isn’t a 19mm I get quite annoyed hahaha

21. Wsp man i got a question you think a 2005 tl engine fit in a 01 acura cl?

22. Eric i have a problem with my 91 acura legend. No check engine light when i turn the key on also no start but it cranks over. I have replaced the crank positioning sensor I have replace the ECU I have replace the temperature sensor. I have checked the main relay and erase soldered every single Electronic Component and the relay pull the bench test with it with my voltmeter it passed. Every once in awhile the check engine light with Stampy come on as I turn the key on and then when it goes out I proceed with trying to start the engine it almost starts. I have cracked loose the pressure release nut on top of my fuel filter. When I turn the key on good I noticed the fuel squirting out for 30 seconds nope no fuel. I have checked my fuses and they are good I guess the next step is the fuel pump possibly but for some reason in my gut I don't think that's the problem. Could you possibly help me out my guiding me in a Direction of what this could be. So I remove my car battery the as it sets and when I bring the car battery back to it I hook it up I'm trying to key over the check engine light might come on or we'll barely come on and then come on and then go off and then I'll crank it over and and she will start Amber Run perfect for like one minute and then die I'll turn the key off and back on and no check engine light in the beginning of the Diagnostics of the ECU check of the engine. Help

23. From what Eric said, I am fairly sure that this car was bought from an auto auction for cheap because of the bad engine and the owner (likely a used car dealer) talked him into swapping the engine for cheap too. The engine is leaking oil all over the outside, probably never properly maintained and suffered an early demise. These 2004 TL is the twin of my 7th Gen Honda Accord V6, I recognize the engine layout and most of the engine components, air box, fuse box, power steering, starter, and all major components including the intake manifold. If I were to even attempt this job, I'd have sprayed the engine with soap and/or degreaser and hose it down with pressure washer to get it as clean as possible. That will help with taking the fasteners and various parts less messy, if the engine is at least clean. Yes, I also recognize the 3 engine mounts and 3 transmission mounts. I had to replace the top transmission mount on mine and it is exactly the same, under the battery tray. As far as organizing, I would lay out the parts as they come off the car in a linear way, so when I put them back, they are in the same order. I'd agree keeping the fasteners with parts make sense so you don't mix them up.

24. Very decent auto tech

25. lol u have to put tension on the whole lower control arm like push up on it an they com rite outg

26. That click sound when the bolt brake loose..its like harmony sound…
