2012 Used Honda Engines For Sale

Every 2012 Honda engine we hold right now, grouped the way the listings are written. The 2012 titles print no engine code — only displacement and a VIN position — so each family below names what you will actually see in the product title, including the three rows that are a hybrid motor on its own and the four that are a hybrid gasoline engine with no motor.

2012 Honda Engine Families

Which engine sits under which 2012 Honda, and how many of each we hold today.

Engine family Fits (2012) In stock
2.4L Four Accord Sdn (VIN 2) in EX, EX-L, LX and SE, Accord Cpe (VIN 1), Crosstour (VIN 3) and CR-V (VIN M, 5th digit). Federal ULEV II, California PZEV and Canada rows are listed separately and are not the same calibration. No 2012 title prints a code; this reads as the K24 family and your VIN settles it. 17
3.5L V6 Accord (VIN 2 and VIN 3, split AT and MT Cpe), Pilot (VIN 3 and VIN 4), Odyssey (VIN 5), Crosstour (VIN 1 and VIN 2) and Ridgeline (VIN 1), all at the 6th digit. Reads as the J35 family; the VIN digit is what separates the rows. 10
1.8L Four gasoline Civic Sdn (VIN 2) and Civic Cpe (VIN 3), each split Federal, California and Canada emissions. Gasoline only - NOT interchangeable with the Civic Natural Gas 1.8L below. 6
1.5L Civic Hybrid, gasoline engine only Civic Hybrid Sdn, VIN 4 (6th digit), MX trim, in Federal, California and Canada rows. These listings are the GASOLINE ENGINE WITH NO MOTOR - if you need the motor, see the IMA row. 3
1.3L Insight, gasoline engine only Insight hybrid, VIN 2 (6th digit), in Federal, California and Canada rows. Gasoline engine only, no motor included. 3
Integrated Motor Assist electric motors Three listings that are the ELECTRIC MOTOR ON ITS OWN, no combustion engine: Civic Hybrid (VIN 4), Insight (VIN 2) and CR-Z (VIN 1). Ordering one of these when you need an engine is the commonest mistake on this year. 3
1.5L Fit Four Fit, VIN 8 (6th digit), listed separately for MT and AT. Shares no parts with the 1.5L hybrid rows. 2
2.4L Four Civic Si Civic Si only - Sdn (VIN 6) and Cpe (VIN 4). A high-output, high-revving 2.4L kept apart from the Accord and CR-V 2.4L rows; the heads, intake and calibration differ and they do not swap. 2
1.8L Civic Natural Gas (CNG) Civic GX Sdn, VIN 5 (6th digit). A compressed-natural-gas engine with its own head, valves and fuel system; no interchange with the six gasoline 1.8L units. 1
1.5L CR-Z, gasoline engine only CR-Z hybrid, VIN 1 (6th digit). The gasoline engine alone; the CR-Z motor is listed as a separate IMA row. 1

Why Buy a 2012 Honda Engine from Auto Power Source

Forty-eight 2012 Honda engines are live on this page, and the count is the live active count, not a brochure figure. The Accord and the Civic together are two-thirds of the year: nineteen Accord units across the 2.4L four and the 3.5L V6, and thirteen Civic units spread over five genuinely different engines — the gasoline 1.8L, the Natural Gas 1.8L, the Si 2.4L, the hybrid 1.5L and a standalone IMA motor.

Seven of the forty-eight are half a hybrid, and that is the split that matters most on this year. Three listings are an Integrated Motor Assist ELECTRIC MOTOR with no combustion engine (Civic Hybrid, Insight and CR-Z), and four are a hybrid GASOLINE ENGINE with no motor (three Insight rows and the Civic Hybrid rows). We keep them in separate family rows rather than merging them, because shipping a motor to someone who needed an engine is the single most expensive mistake on a 2012 Honda order.

2012 titles print displacement and a VIN position, never an engine code. Where we name a code family — J35 on the V6 rows, K24 on the 2.4L rows, R18 on the Civic 1.8L — that is our read of the listing, not a promise stamped on the block. Your VIN settles it, and we confirm the exact unit in writing before you pay.

The VIN position moves on this year. It is the 6th digit on every 2012 Honda we hold except the CR-V, where it is the 5th digit (VIN M). Reading the wrong position is the commonest cause of a wrong order on this model year, so check the digit the title names, not the one you are used to.

Two 1.8L engines on this page are not interchangeable. The Civic GX runs on compressed natural gas and carries its own head, valves and fuel system; the six gasoline 1.8L Civic units will not substitute for it in either direction. The Civic Si 2.4L is likewise kept apart from the Accord and CR-V 2.4L rows — higher output, different heads and intake, no swap.

Every unit is compression-tested and leak-down-tested before it is listed, comes as used OEM from low-mileage donor vehicles, and ships with our standard warranty. We match the donor VIN to your VIN on our side so the engine that leaves the yard is the one your car was built with.

Your 2012 Honda Engine Options: Compared

Most 2012 Honda owners face four real choices when the engine fails:

← Swipe sideways to see all columns →
Option Cost Reliability Warranty Fitment Match
Used OEM (this collection) $$$ Best Value High — tested Included VIN-matched
New OEM (dealer) $$$$$ 2-4× more High Manufacturer Exact
Aftermarket / Reman $$$$ Varies 6-12 mo May adapt
Junkyard $ Cheapest Unknown None DIY

Tested used OEM hits the sweet spot — same engineering as new, fraction of the cost.

2012 Honda Engine Buying Guide

5 things to verify before buying a used 2012 Honda engine:

  1. Read the VIN position the title names. On 2012 Honda engines it is the 6th digit on everything except the CR-V, which uses the 5th digit (VIN M). The title tells you which position it means — use that one.
  2. Decide whether you need the engine, the motor, or both. Seven 2012 listings are half a hybrid: three are an IMA electric motor alone, four are a hybrid gasoline engine with no motor. Say which one you need and we will confirm it before shipping.
  3. Match the emissions row, not just the displacement. Accord 2.4L and Civic 1.8L units are listed separately for Federal ULEV II, California PZEV and Canada. The calibration and hardware differ; the wrong row can fail an emissions test.
  4. Check fuel type and output on the 1.8L and 2.4L rows. The Civic GX 1.8L is compressed natural gas, not gasoline, and the Civic Si 2.4L is a different engine from the Accord and CR-V 2.4L. Neither substitutes for the other.
  5. Confirm the match with your own VIN before you order. Your VIN settles the engine code, drivetrain and build split in one step. Text it to +1-307-441-5554 and we will confirm in writing exactly which unit fits your vehicle before you pay.

Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any unit ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many 2012 Honda engines do you have in stock?
Forty-eight, live on this page right now. The breakdown is Accord 19, Civic 13, Insight 4, Crosstour 3, Fit 2, Pilot 2, CR-Z 2, and one each of CR-V, Odyssey and Ridgeline. The number is our active count, refreshed when the page is built.
Why do some 2012 listings say "electric (Integrated Motor Assist)"?
Because those three listings are the hybrid ELECTRIC MOTOR on its own, with no combustion engine — one each for the Civic Hybrid, the Insight and the CR-Z. Four other listings are the reverse: a hybrid gasoline engine with no motor. We keep them in separate family rows so nobody orders one expecting the other. Tell us which half you need.
Do the 2012 titles tell me the engine code?
No. 2012 Honda listings print displacement and a VIN position only. Where this page names J35, K24 or R18 that is our read of the listing based on the model, trim and VIN digit, not a code printed on the unit. Text us your VIN and we confirm the exact engine in writing before you pay.
Which VIN digit should I read on a 2012 Honda?
The 6th digit on every 2012 Honda engine we hold except the CR-V, which uses the 5th digit (VIN M). Each title states the position it means, and that is the one to read.
Is the Civic Natural Gas 1.8L the same as the gasoline 1.8L?
No. The Civic GX runs on compressed natural gas and has its own cylinder head, valves and fuel system. It is a separate family row here and does not interchange with the six gasoline 1.8L Civic units in either direction.
Is the Civic Si 2.4L the same engine as the Accord 2.4L?
No. The Si 2.4L is a higher-output, higher-revving version with different heads, intake and calibration. It is listed in its own family row with two units — Sdn (VIN 6) and Cpe (VIN 4).
Why are Federal, California and Canada rows listed separately?
Because they are not the same unit. 2012 Accord 2.4L and Civic 1.8L engines were built to Federal ULEV II, California PZEV and Canada emissions specifications with different calibration and hardware. Fitting the wrong one can fail an emissions test, so we match the row to your vehicle.
What warranty comes with a 2012 Honda engine?
Every unit ships with our standard warranty, and the term is stated on your quote before you pay. Each engine is compression-tested and leak-down-tested before listing, and our ASE-certified technicians verify the match against your VIN first.

Our 6-Step Inspection & Shipping Process

Every 2012 Honda engine we ship has been through these six steps:

1. VIN-Matching
We match the donor VIN to your VIN to confirm engine code, VTEC variant, emissions calibration, and drivetrain fit.
2. Tested & Verified
ASE-certified technicians compression-test every cylinder and run leak-down evaluation on engines. Transmissions are Shift-Tested through all gears.
3. Noise & Smoke Verification
Engines are run on the test stand to verify normal mechanical sound, clean exhaust, and no abnormal smoke — catches internal wear static tests miss.
4. Visual Inspection
Every accessible component is inspected: turbos, manifolds, valve covers, timing covers, accessories, sensor harnesses.
5. Photograph & Catalog
Multi-angle photos sent to you BEFORE we ship for your approval.
6. Palletize & Ship
Strapped on a heavy-duty wooden pallet, shipped via freight at no charge.

Our Photos-Before-Shipment Guarantee

Before any engine leaves our warehouse, we send you multi-angle photographs of the actual unit. You approve. If you do not approve, you get every dollar back — no questions, no restocking fees, no return freight charges. On top of 30-day money-back and the warranty included with every unit.
