Acura Auto Engine Parts Catalog

Honda was successful in breaking the barriers of dominance of the U.S. market by big domestic and European car manufacturers with Acura. Acura was the first to manufacture an all-aluminum car. It was also the first to use in-dish satellite-linked navigation system and develop the VTEC (variable valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system. In the United States, at present Honda uses the Acura brand for their range of luxury cars. In terms of customer satisfaction, Acura has been the recipient of many prestigious awards. The array of Acura vehicles consists of high class family cars, sports cars and SUVs. Acura cars are in keeping with Honda's tradition of excellence and are the product of a technical expertise and commitment to provide the ultimate driving satisfaction. The Integra (luxury sedan) and the Legend (luxury sports sedan) were the first two models of the Acura.

The heart and soul of the Acura is the engine which transforms the air and petrol into rotary motion so that it can drive the wheels of the car. The Acura engine pistons move up and down in the cylinders. On top of the engine piston is located the combustion chamber where the petrol and air get mixed before being ignited. The crankcase, full of oil and connected via a connecting rod to the piston, is on the other side. The rings on the pistons keep out the oil from the combustion chamber and the fuel and air out of the oil. When the petrol gets compressed and the piston nears the top of the cylinder, the spark plug fires and ignites the petrol and air. The effect of the explosion is to push the piston back down the cylinder and drive the crankshaft.

The rings on the Acura engine pistons can wear out over a period of time. They then allow the petrol and air to enter into the oil and dilute it. The effect of this dilution reduces the oils ability to grease the engine and can cause untimely wear. Another negative effect of the rings wearing down is they allow oil from the crankcase to enter the combustion chambers. As a consequence of this, oil gets burned and exits in the form of grayish or white smoke. This implies that maybe the rings too, have worn out.
