Is there any motor problems?
#Please advise me: 185k 2002 Honda Accord V6 Engine Sludge

Because I don’t understand the question
From personal experience with old Honda motors is that youll run into dirty heads, usually nothing to worry about. Honestly I would just ride it till it dies
If their isn’t a code don’t change it
Yeh
If anything take of the intake manifold and clean the throttle body
No it’s not
If anything just get motor flush and some sea foam
Don’t do a deep clean there isn’t any point
Do you plan to keep it as a beater or you plan to go fast with it? @fiery jasper
Them j series motors are ez asf to mode
Especially in a accord because it has way more engine bay space
Do you have automotive experience
Bro you basically know everything you need to know on rebuilding motors
Buy a junk yard or parted out j series Honda motor
Rebuild it and throw it in your accord
It’ll be runnin for another 20 years

I don’t even see any sludge. This looks like what you would expect with a valve train at 182K miles.
With that being said, your 21 year old Accord with 182K miles is not going to put out the power it used to. I wouldn’t sweat it

2.5k oil changes are wild. looks like it didnt get every oil change it should have. but just use synthetic. i would like to see how dirty the oil is during a change at 5k and is it smells anything like gas. honestly this is kinda what aluminum honda heads look like.
