Unabridged 2001 MDX Timing belt and oil and water pump replacement - part 4

Part 4 of my multi‑part series documenting the complete engine and transmission removal, repairs and then installation on my 2001 Acura MDX. In this episode, I replace the timing belt, the water pump, and oil pump. if you’re planning to replace the timing and maybe the water or oil pump on your first‑gen Acura MDX (2001–2006), this video will help you. If you plan to replace the oil pump you definitely have to remove the oil pan to remove the oil pickup. But NOTE.....you can remove the oil pan without moving/lowering the subframe. I will cover that in a future episode. Future episodes will cover the follow‑up repairs: rack and pinion replacement, CV axle seals, the rear main seal, and the tiny O‑ring behind the metal plate that’s often the real source of the oil leak on these J35 engines. #AcuraMDXRepair #J35EngineDIY #TimingBeltReplacement #EngineRebuildDIY #WaterPumpReplacement #OilPumpService #HondaAcuraDIY #MDXMaintenance #DIYMechanicLife
