I second that 👍

@@anthonydefreitas6006 Me third.Youtoob mechanics know it all,I'll bet IRL they couldn't change a flat tire.

Agree. To me it sounded like valvetrain problem, I would vote vvt issue. Wrong of course.

Jerry from Bullshitkorner has gone on some epic rants against armchair mechanics. 😂

My armchair needs a mechanic

Or they haven't owned a car in 30 years. Leased. Have a buddy. Puts a ton of miles on his vehicles. First time it breaks down, traded in. He does his own oil changes. Doesn't trust the dealer. He is the 100% factory part guy. Can't grasp the thought of diagnostic time. Says "mechanic" is supposed to know what's wrong. He should only pay for part and replacement time. OK...I'll go talk to my refrigerator now.

@@gailtaylor1636 Yeah, they pull the radiator cap and run a new car under it. Not the cheapest way to go, but effective.

Whoever was in there wrenching, broke something.

Millions of cars get away with a simple single spring tensioner. Why does Honda do it?

@@TheMarcQyou cannot have a v6 Honda without a loud valve train

When ours failed, that made a horrible noise that was constant but the belt never jumped

I think someone put the tensioner in a vice and collapsed it too quickly, so as to reinstall the ‘granade pin’ and burst the seals. Impossible to tell for sure.

👍👍👍

Shut up

You really should say that you can't make yourself look good by trying to make someone look bad

@@yeahitskimmel I didn't "say" that. That's what people "THINK"

I’d add experience to that list, for example, I’ve never managed to fit an aftermarket sensor to a Volvo without having to go back and redo the work with an OEM part that costs 2-3 times more. Then again the Volvo sensors last decades so it’s a bit of a false economy to fit anything cheaper anyhow, but fitting a 200 euro sensor on a 2000 euro car feels a bit weird.

I don't know about the Dorman bad rap.They make a pretty good coolant reservoir for the GMT400's.....

I have learned a few things in my pumps.

Unless you drive a Subaru then your only option is: Aisin lol

@@Yagierman I put an Aisin water pump and hydraulic piston in my 2007 Honda Pilot. They came with the only kit I could get at the time. I could not find an OEM one anywhere. The kit did have all OEM seals and timing belt, though. Now, I see an OEM one on Amazon for almost $500, whereas the one I got was about $400. If I could get a kit with the OEM parts back then, I might have just spent the extra $100 and got the OEM, but I have had no problems with the Aisin parts in the kit, either putting them in or with them now about 1.5 years later.

It's always awesome when someone in the trades passes down their knowledge to a new generation. It's how I learned a couple of the professions I've worked at. My last one I worked at fixing arcade and pinball games, Jukeboxes and other pay to have fun equipment for 37 years I began towards the end teaching my customers the basics to keep them from getting scammed by unscrupulous techs I know of. Most didn't actually want to do their own repairs but the knowledge I gave them helped them to at least now what issues their equipment might have. My oldest daughter Michelle actually had a bar owner fire a tech who was trying to scam him on a jukebox repair. She pointed out what the real problem was and even fixed no parts needed (just an adjustment) it just from having watched me repairing them. She was a model at the time making 5 to 6 times or more my income so she never actually entered the profession.

I hope you recovered from your back injury Mark. The injury sux big time eh.

That is great Mark teaching and assisting the new generation learning about mechanics. That Honda sure surprised me that it was tensioner had gone bad Just last night I had a Ram 3500 with a loss of heat in the passenger cabin and when I pulled the codes on it the code pushed to replacing the thermostat. Since my buddy wanted to do it I just advised what to do. Being 63 years old I was just there to catch any mistakes and what to watch for. I don't mind when someone wants to do their own repairs as long as I am there to advise.

I just replaced a dayco timing belt kit on a 3.5 pilot where the tensioner failed after less than 40k miles. If it were my personal vehicle I’d pay for oem. That being said it was a pretty easy job only took a couple hours.

I've found the Gates kit is identical Honda parts in it.

I’ve done plenty of Hondas and Subarus and have never had a problem, I typically use Aisin as my favorite. About a month ago I had a Subaru single over head cam come in with the engine knocking all to hell, I did a timing belt kit on it less than 3,000 miles ago with a continental kit and the new tensioner failed and that’s what was causing the knocking, luckily didn’t jump time or anything so no big deal but still annoying

@@jmathis3 My first timing belt job was on my family van before I knew anything about brands. I replaced mine with dayco and it failed withing 40k also. I believe just the tensioner was garbage. If I would have went with an oem one, I probably wouldn't have had to replace it all again.

@@drewt1081 The Gates kits use the OE Koyo bearings. But the Gates water pump and hydraulic tensioner is Chinese garbage. Dayco kits are even worse. They use GMB bearings and awful pump and hydraulic tensioner The AISIN TKH-002 uses good quality parts, most are OE, without the dealer price tag.

Annnnd that, Jason, is the #1 reason why NOT to use those low-quality kits! If you go to an aftermarket kit, look at who makes the components (if they don't tell you, run away) and get one with components made by the same OEM suppliers as stock. Not a perfect guarantee, but you really have to watch out here as there are so many Chinesium low-buck kits out there and on the jungle shopping site, they will even steal pictures from an OEM kit to advertise their inferior product to try to trick you into buying it.

@@xabhax I've seen several of those "OEM" kits from Amazon and ebay fail catastrophically within 30k of installation. Do NOT buy.

@@xabhax Nor do they come in a "kit."

Yes sir! It can be brutal.

Thanks!

My sister bought a 91 civic hatch new. Teal green, was a very nice car for about 2 years. Had under 30.000 miles when it started having problems. Water pump went bad. Then a little later, the starter failed. I was so surprised that a nearly new Honda was having issues. About a year later she called me and said it wouldn't start. I had it towed to Honda, they said it had a bad ignition. A few months later it did the same thing, wouldn't start. My sister said, thats it! I'm done with this piece of junk. She bought a new Mazda, and that car served her very well for about 10 years before she traded it in.

@@johnfranklin5277 she must off gat the lemon

@@blairarthur302 yes, but hidden under the green paint! Lol.

Lol thinking about some fool trying to fix their car watching this like, oh imma need to order that wheel bearing

I thought that unused tapered shim was going in with the alternator

@@ianhelsbyservices That was for the idler pulley, not the alternator

Import fees would make it cost prohibitive. You are probably better off in every way buying a crate motor.

@@BudMasta Do you mean a grey import fresh from the factory engine?

Personally I'm not a fan of Dayco. Always has seemed like a second-tier name brand to me. Maybe my views were formed in the 1970s when Gates was thought of as the good stuff and Dayco was the cheaper alternative.

just change the oil- i think all use oil pressure to tension belts and chains

Still no.

Same question!

Yep, the rest of the job is madly easy and I've done it multiple times. I'm just curious how you rectified the worn alternator bracket on the engine side.

He obviously didn't fix it.
