The price you were quoted for a replacement engine sounds really high.. by comparison, a brand new 2.5T engine installed by the dealership here in Canada would run like $8-9k CDN ($6.5k USD), and that includes labour. A search on lkqonline.com shows a lot of available used engines ranging from...

Let's circle back to the topic please, thanks guys.

Looking a bit more closely at the tips, I think they may be spot welded to the piping, so these 2.5" inlet tips won't work. I'll be returning them today. I ordered a pair of 3" inlet tips, which I know for sure will slip over the OEM tips.

Generally you just want to check everything that you'd normally check when you buy a used vehicle, like interior and exterior condition, undercarriage and door jambs (to look for significant rust), under the hood to check for leaks. Check vehicle history for reported accidents, and service...

I have not driven a CX-90 yet so I can't compare, but I had a 2018 Signature, and now have a 2022 Kuro (Carbon Edition in Canada). The 2022 is noticeably quieter than my 2018, and quieter than my brother-in law's 2024 Infiniti QX60. The nappa leather seats in my 2018 Signature were really nice...

Yes, this confusion is exactly what prompted all of the follow up questions that OP took offense to. OP never mentioned emergency braking - I think that if it happened, they would remember it, but that also depends on the settings they had enabled (or disabled) for the emergency braking...

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to get more info on the OP's situation. They've actually been permanently banned (by another moderator/admin) for ignoring warnings, insulting members, and being confrontational and condescending. At least they were able to take something away from this whole...

Applied some of that ceramic trim coating to the engine cover. I'm hoping this will make it easier to clean. I also ordered a pair of exhaust tips. Just need to work on getting the OEM tips off. I don't think they're screwed onto the pipe, but they don't want to come loose after giving them a...

Check this hose, circled in red. That hose is connected to the oil separator, sometimes also called the PCV valve. As @N7turbo suggested, check to see if it's loose or if it has cracks/holes. It's located at the front of the engine, driver's side. In this picture, the engine cover is removed...

I'll add that to the original posts.

No one was questioning your integrity. They were making objective observations that you may have inferred as a personal attack. This is a flowing discussion with people viewing and replying to your comments in real time. When you posted the original unedited comment, another poster quoted it in...

There is no need for this. Other members are trying to understand the situation with the information provided. As far as I can tell, observations made by previous posters have been completely objective and not disrespectful. Let's try to keep it that way moving forward.

I don't think it's a complete assembly. From TSB 01-002/23, we know that a cylinder head replacement includes reusing the water outlet, fuel distributor, fuel injectors, OCV oil filter, rocker arms, HLA, CMP sensors and engine hanger brackets. That probably contributes a good amount of labor to...

This might clear it up a bit more. In the documentation for CSP11, they list the labor hours for each option. Specifically for the CX-9 AWD, cylinder head replacement is 11.3 labor hours, plus 0.8 or 1.3 labor hours for a front wheel alignment. Engine replacement is listed at 10.9 labor hours...

Vinyl wrapped a few small interior trim pieces and installed them.
