I'll have to try this, I replaced the cam phaser on my 2011 Accord 7 years ago and within the past year it's started clattering every time I start it. The parts guy at Honda assured me that the phaser they sold me was the "updated" version even though it has the same part number.....BS. Being a mechanic I have absolutely no desire to work on my own vehicle so this will make my life a little easier if it works. I'm about due for my 200k valve adjustment and plug replacement (early) so I will try this instead of replacing the whole thing again. BTW, you have a white, Canadian cousin selling tools for Snap-on here in Texas, seriously, the similarities between you two are eerie.

So I have a 2018 fit that had that rattle a few times a week on cold starts. Is this a "this needs fixed immediately" kinda issue or a "it can wait within reason" It just started doing it, but it's not often. Some people on the honda fit reddit said it could be fine for years until it finally stretches the timing belt. I just don't have the know how or the money to have somone go in there and replace the spring.

@0943407 ай бұрын
Useful video, thanks. One thing: if stretching the spring doesn't work, and then you order the kit from Spring Start, it comes with a recommendation that you also replace the chain tensioner, in addition to swapping out the spring on the VTC. So, depending on your mechanical skills, you may or may not have a hard time with that. What bothers me is that apparently there is no mention of this 'prior' to buying the kit, so Spring Start is giving you the impression that just changing the spring will fix the problem. I wouldn't exactly call that shady, but I do think it's a pretty big omission.
@dateg187 ай бұрын
When posting the video at the time, there was no replacement vtc spring available to buy, and yes, there is still a startup rattle. You should consider replacing the timming chain tensioner because they are faulty too and ppl I'm not a Professional mechanic. I have just been Fortunate enough to have friends that have worked for honda over the years I've been doing this since the early 90s.

@@dateg18 NP bro, I get that you are just trying to help...much appreciated. So, are you saying that you replaced the spring and still got the rattle? I'm about to order the spring kit and the tensioner, and give this thing a go. But first I want to see if my chain is stretched, if it is then I'll have to get that too. What a PITA, and Honda still doesn't have an official fix for this issue. By the way, I'm no mechanic either, but what I think I can do I'll try to do, and hope I don't F it up.

This seems to be happening on the 2.4 from 2008 through 2017. You think Honda engineers would have figured this out by now. Put a thicker gauge spring which is a .50 part. Problem solved.
@0943407 ай бұрын
@@tpc3416 Honda clearly just wants this issue to go away, they haven't had a service bulletin since 2017 on it, so we are stuck. My 2009 Accord is solid in every way, except for this VCT actuator. Even Honda mechanics are split 50/50...some say replace all the timing components, others say just keep topping off the oil. It's frustrating and aggravating to say the least.
@spring-start7 ай бұрын
It would depend on the year and model of the vehicle as well as milage if the TCT replacement is recommended. Often, replacing the VTC actuator locking spring alone resolves the issue. Some vehicles need a higher rate spring others the OEM design spring for best results.

One thing that I heard though, is that the spring kit (from Spring Start) comes with instructions that also recommends replacing the chain tensioner as well, but you don't find out about it until you get the kit. The tensioner isn't the hardest job, but it's not the easiest either.
