Joe,

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, my Odyssey took a turn for
the worse last Friday. After driving less than a mile, the engine
stopped and would not restart. There were no bad noises and it would
crank but not catch. My wife had to walk home (a separate story in itself).

I tried what I could on the roadside and then had it towed to the garage.
It turns out that the camshaft had snapped at one of the bearing journals
so there was no spark and the valve timing was off. I can't say this is due
to the leaky oil cooler seal, but it certainly didn't help.

The mechanic's recommendation is to put in a 'good' used engine since there
was a fair bit of oil sludge buildup in the old engine. I can't complain
too much since the old engine went 180,000 miles.

I believe your info for the Accord would be the same for the Odyssey since the
engine I'm getting is coming from an Accord.

Regards, Ed
