Once I got the car to reproduce the noise, he told me in ONE second what it was and why I shouldn't worry. He charged me nothing and I think I have found a true friend in him.

I don't know if it has a timing belt or a timing chain but if it has a timing belt you need to adhere to the mileage. If you bought this thing new go to a dealership and find out when the timing belt was replaced last because I know a lady who had a Kia and she was coming from Florida to Indiana and she didn't think it was that big a deal she'd change it when she got to Indiana well she didn't make it to Indiana that timing belt broke and she had to replace the whole engine and it wasn't covered under warranty because she had failed to change it at the specified mileage.

The only reason I can think of why Honda keeps the timing belts is that it really does not break even up above the required maintenance schedule of the internal parts which you have to be replaced such as the water pump and seals etc which will almost definitely breakdown. The timing belt itself is not expensive. When uou actually inspect it as well, it is usually still intact and sometimes you think it doesn't need replacing but you replace it. That said, the cost of redesigning and tooling changes and ongoing testing, modifications, recalls of a new design certainly affect prices and profitability hence the image as well. So they may keep selling things that continue to work to be able to work on more innovative designs hopefully. Additionally , sometimes being forced to make that maintenance keep you from having big engine trouble when you most definitely not need it. If a design and maintenance system works, why change it. But hey, who knows. Still, a timing chain could be better.

The diesel generators are most likely powered by natural gas. All our backup’s where I work are natural gas powered generators and we run them when natural gas is cheaper than taking power from the grid. In California in June 2023 Natural gas generators supplied 5000 megawatt hours while non hydroelectric renewables supplied about 7250 megawatt hours. 🙏

opening up a battery is pretty much like rebuilding an engine. Even removing it from the vehicle has the same complexity. Being trained in HV, I would service a battery any day, but I'd rather not touch the inside of an engine

I bought a used 18 Ridgeline. I love the truck, but as one of your other viewers noted, the timing belt vs chain, as well as having to have the valves adjusted every 100K miles? Really, adjust the valves. Talk about archaic!!!

I like keeping my cars stock. I can and do wrench on my cars myself, but if I don’t feel like it, it is no problem having someone else work on them. Many shops won’t touch a tricked out car for fear of liability if something goes wrong. Example: big box stores wouldn’t touch my Tacoma because I had a proper tire fitment as stated in the manual, but only the default tire size was printed on the on the door jamb sticker. Stupid! Luckily a real tire shop had no problem with it.
