Taking a shot in the dark here, as there seems to be a lot of knowledgable people on this board.
Acura is recalling thousands of MDX's due to crank issues "During engine manufacturing, some crankshafts may have been built with improper connecting rod journal dimensions, resulting in increased friction between the journals and their bearings. This increased friction could lead to accelerated engine deterioration and possible failure due to a lack of lubrication and excessive heat.”
This is from Acura
What I am wondering is what exactly is the issue? The above to me is "for the masses" but for those who know engines need to know exactly what is wrong with the crank.
Some Acura/Honda techs might not answer, and some might not even know but by now some of the techs must know the answer to the question - i.e. whether the crank was inadvertently ground over or under and therefore not well matched to the bearings or if it really was ground 'out of round' and if so, how new bearings are going to help.
Thanks
