It was wife’s vehicle so I didn’t notice until I drove it. It sounded just like that. Really bad when it was cold sometime louder than others. I used the Lysle 77080 19mm heavy socket and Milwaukee 18v 1/2 to get crank bolt out. Reg 19mm and all other impacts I had would not touch it. That socket with any of my other impact prob would have worked. It’s a massive socket!!!!!

You don't have to use impact tools to remove the big bolt on the vibration damper. Put a breaker bar on the bolt and rest it against the inner fender with a towel for protection. Crank the engine just a little to turn it over and the bolt will free up. Very simple. I learned this from working on an Infiniti Q45 years ago.
@UffDaDan2 жыл бұрын
On the vibration damper, do you mean the harmonic balancer and the crank bolt? I think I follow with putting a beaker bar on that bolt and let the crank usncrew it's own bolt?? I've never heard of this and while it sounds risky, I'll keep it in mind.
@furryp24022 жыл бұрын
@@UffDaDan Yes the crank bolt and no this is not dangerous. Just don't stand near the front of the car when you are starting it. It makes a loud noise just for that initial second as it breaks free. I've done this several times of the last few years. I'm amazed this car did not jump timing given the tensioner went bad. Make sure you use a Honda gasket on the water pump given they often leak and that can cause the timing belt to break. These interference engines are rather annoying. Interesting he ran the engine before putting the timing belt covers back on. I was wondering about that and wish I had done that the last time I did this work on my Honda Accord V6 it would have saved many hours of replacing the engine.

I had the timing belt service on my 06 LX V6 Accord right at the 100K mark. Sometime recently (now at 151 K) mark, I started noticing the noise on cold mornings when I started the car. It goes away after a couple of minutes. I'm guessing that means the tensioner has not completely failed and it takes it a few minutes to get enough hydraulic fluid going to tighten up the timing belt. So, if I go ahead and replace the apparently faulty tensioner, should I go ahead and replace the water pump and timing belt too as best practice even though technically not due to 200k? It seems like it would make sense to do so since already down there.
