Restore luxury sedan acceleration with this precision-machined Acura TL C32A6 Remanufactured Engine. Each 3.2L 6-Cylinder 24-Valve SOHC long block features diamond-resurfaced aluminum deck surfaces and line-honed main bearing saddles. Technicians must perform pressurized oil priming prior to first cranking and execute an exact 500-mile break-in oil change to protect hydraulic lifter assemblies from premature contact wear.

Manufactured with open-deck aluminum block casting C32A6, this 90-degree V6 features cast iron cylinder liners align-honed for crankshaft centerline concentricity. The rotating foundation features a micro-polished forged steel crankshaft with offset crankpins, forged connecting rods, and hypereutectic pistons with anti-scuff skirt coatings. SOHC cylinder head casting PY3-R receives diamond deck milling for head gasket retention. Dry weight measures 240 lbs within crated dimensions of 36in length by 36in width by 36in height. Crankcase capacity equals 4.8 quarts.

Key Features of Acura C32A6

Automotive repair facilities buy Acura C32A6 remanufactured engine long blocks to eliminate chronic head gasket failure and restore factory cylinder compression. This assembly provides verified machine shop tolerances for longitudinal front-wheel-drive executive sedans.

- SOHC 24-Valve cylinder heads undergo CNC multi-angle valve seat cutting to maintain 0.001in runout.
- Aluminum block casting C32A6 sleeves receive diamond plateau honing to establish an Ra 14 finish.
- Offset-pin micro-polished crankshaft journals eliminate runout to protect bi-metal bearings under load.
- Hydraulic valve lash adjusters undergo ultrasonic cleaning and bench bleeding to eliminate valvetrain chatter.
- Align-honed main bearing saddles preserve circularity across the 90-degree engine block architecture.
- Multi-layer steel head gaskets ensure combustion chamber seal integrity across elevated thermal load cycles.
- New high-grade cylinder head bolts supply uniform clamp loads across 2 aluminum cylinder banks.

Dyno Load Operational Tolerances Specifications

Dyno cell testing validates internal oil gallery pressurization and power output prior to crate packaging. The 3.2L 3206cc SOHC V6 outputs 200 HP at 5,500 RPM and 210 ft-lbs of shaft torque at 4,400 RPM. Main journal oil clearance holds between 0.0010in and 0.0014in, while connecting rod clearance measures 0.0011in to 0.0014in. Individual cylinder compression gauges verify 185 PSI across all 6 cylinders. Hot engine oil pressure maintains 55 PSI at 3,000 RPM with regulated coolant operating temperatures steady at 190°F.

Vehicle Fitment Drivetrain Guide

This engine fits 1996 to 1998 Acura 3.2TL luxury sedans equipped with the 3.2L 3206cc SOHC C32A6 engine, block casting C32A6, and head casting PY3-R. Compatible drivetrains include longitudinal front-wheel drive paired with 4-Speed automatic transaxles. This unit does not fit earlier 1991 to 1995 Acura Legend C32A1 platforms, 2.5L 5-Cylinder TL models, or later J32A transverse V6 chassis due to divergent engine mount bosses, oil pans, and bellhousing bolt patterns.

Installation Protocol Service Requirements

Technicians must bleed air from cooling system bleed valves on the thermostat housing, verify differential output shaft seals, and inspect oil cooler lines during installation. Operational warnings restrict use in custom turbo applications exceeding 6 PSI boost or demolition derby vehicles lacking auxiliary oil cooling.

- Pre-fill the oil filter and prime the lubrication circuit with 5W-30 synthetic blend oil.
- Drain initial break-in oil and install a replacement oil filter at the 500-mile maintenance mark.
- Inspect timing belt tracking and retorque intake manifold plenum fasteners at 1,500 miles.
