CX-9 Engine Replacement Compatibility

[vadimkru]

Hello,

I have 2018 CX-9 that has the cracked head with coolant leak (confirmed by dealer). The warranty work was denied due to car having salvaged title.

I’m looking to buy a replacement engine from 2023 CX-9. Do you know if it is a direct replacement?

I know that I have to replace with an engine that is at least 2020+ that has the fixed head design.

Technically yes but you'll want the 2023 ECU as well. What I don't know is, does that affect any other system.
