I've bee a honda tech for 16 years, I've seen many failed hydraulic tensioners on J series V6 but I've never seen one that bad. Usually the belt slacks up slightly and starts hitting the cover which makes more of a thumping sound. Props to your diagnostic skills, that's certainly a tricky issue to find if you're not a specialist. I'm amazed as well it didn't jump.

Once again, Wes's way of explaining and repairing an engine is highly entertaining. His verbal delivery and the way he diagnosed the problem involved a bit of joshing about himself which adds to the enjoyment of watching one of his vids. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Wes to you and to your family.

A fine video! I’m not an auto mechanic-just someone who likes mechanical things, and am always amazed when mechanics tear down an engine and don’t have parts left over. And then it runs! Wes did an excellent job explaining how the tensioner works. Thanks!

That Honda has a new lease on life. After watching this video, they will certainly have great confidence in driving wherever they want whenever they want with a smooth-running engine. You are probably the only mechanic they will fully trust. I think many more Hondas will be coming your way. Good Job.

I wish I lived closer to Wes even though I do my own mechanic work. Hands down the best mechanic on youtube.

5:37 I'm going with Option 'C'. It was given to the place that quoted the lowest price for a timing belt replacement because the customer thought everyone else must just be trying to rip them off based solely on their personal attributes (mechanical ignorance), and that's literally exactly what was done. No tensioner, no cam seals - just the belt.

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.

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.

Aftermarket or OEM depends on these factors for me (in order): - How old is the vehicle - How critical is the part (if it fails, will I be walking or buying a new vehicle) - The difference in price vs the cost of labor to do it again (if it is cheap and easy to replace again, I won’t spend extra on OEM). - The reputation of the aftermarket manufacturer and that part from that manufacturer. Some parts (e.g. Dorman) never seem to fit right and are not worth the hassle. Always keep in mind that those hooves might be zebras, but go with horses until proven otherwise. When I have doubts, I often start by proving all the things I think I know, and that usually stops me from tearing into something that did not need to be opened.

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.

Hey Wes I have an 08 Honda Pilot with the same motor. The only mechanic in my area I trust works exclusively on Hondas and installed an aftermarket timing kit around 115k. They always warranty their work and I’m glad they do. The car went through 2 more timing kits because of component failure before they got a quality one that has lasted now for about 3 years. Two of the failures were leaking water pumps and the third was a bad tensioner. Not sure of the brand that finally was a success. Always enjoy your content!

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.

As someone who has been working primarily on Hondas and Subarus for the past 20 years, I cannot blame you for the methodology. There really is no inherent timing issue with these J35 V-6s, they are fairly reliable with the only major flaw I continue to see is with the VCM gaskets (which, judging by how oily that alternator is, may be leaking on this guy). I usually use OEM belts and tensioners where I can, but the Dayco kits are fine and I have used many of them (just did a 93 Accord last week with one). It is really Subarus where I flat out will not used aftermarket kits due to how horrible the timing sprockets and pulleys are. Just almost universally junk. Same with water pumps. Great video and keep on with the process sir!

Yeah, these J series Hondas are common for this timing belt tensioner noise. It starts out as only when the engine is cold and when the engine warms up so does the noise. As it gets worse the noise will last longer and longer until it's finally there all the time. Yours was pretty advanced. They let it go a long time. What I do is roll underneath when it's running and put a long screwdriver on the portion of the tensioner sticking out the timing cover. You'll feel it and hear it in the screwdriver handle. They are extremely lucky it didn't jump time. I'd never use the Dayco kit. Aisin kit or OE Honda parts only, in my opinion.

In the UK in the 70s I worked on Mazdas, and they were OHC with a timing chain. They had manual and a hydraulic tensioner which would spit the piston out when the chain got slack. It used to rattle like a bad of bag of bolts too. It was a fair job as the rubbers got into the oil. It was bonnet and grill off, Head, sump and front cover off, all cleaned new chain and tensioners, and rebuilt and road tested, you got eight hours. After you'd done one or two, you could do them in a day, but I never cracked the eight hours. As always, loved the video, you're the man.

Great video Wes. Ironically I have had the same experience with the dayco kit on a 2012 Subaru outback. At around the same mileage too. Did the timing belt at 88k miles and around 125k started getting some noise only on startup and by 130k had a noise all the time and finally tore it apart and found the bad tensioner. Replaced the belt and tensioner under part warranty and never had a problem again till I sold it at 220k miles 🤷‍♂️ not sure why or how the tensioner failed but it did .
