11/7/2023 0 Comments Honda v6 timing belt tensioner![]() Hondabond HT or Hondabond 4 - What is the difference and are they intended for different uses?ĭoes anyone have a good recommendation for a fuel filter replacement? A link would be great. Is there a better option? Again, this is for a 2008 Honda Ridgeline. Should I go with Spectra Premium or OSC radiator? OEM seems like it's prone to SMOD issues and these seem to be the two that are mentioned the most. I'm open to input if you see something that doesn't look right, could be a problem, or you just think there's a better option. I'm including a short list of some of my remaining questions and a few of the items I'm using. This project is already costing a lot more than I'd hoped and I need to avoid added expenses. I totally get the logic of doing it while it's out of the vehicle, but I'm not sure it's worth the added expense of what my mechanic wants to do it. My mechanic said it was overkill to do the valve gaskets on an engine with only 50k miles. ![]() It looks like I'll be taking most of the collective advice and going with the Aisin TKH-002 kit along with most of the gaskets and seals ctechbob listed in the link he provided. Also, thanks ctechbob for all the detailed info. They may be 'good enough' most of the time, and there may be more than JUST the tighter and more thorough specs, testing, and engineering involved in the price at the dealer, but I don't believe it's ALL fluff.įor 'mission-critical' parts, I'll take factory parts, thankyouverymuch. I'm not a fan of parts that can effectively destroy my engine (timing belt, tensioner, idlers) if they malfunction, coming from the aftermarket if there's a truly massive price difference. If you have a good relationship with your dealer you can probably save 20% maybe a bit more. The following four Genuine Honda parts: Timing belt, Tensioner, Water pump, and Accessory drive belt list for just about $530 from a Honda dealer (according to the invoice from my local Honda dealer, where I got them a few months back). I don't recall mine coming in packages without Honda's logo, but I can't be 100% certain. The plastic packages have correct part numbers formatted roughly correctly for Honda parts. I also don't know whether there are manufacturing dates coded into the numbers on those particular parts. I suppose it's possible there are dealers out there running non-Honda parts in these areas IDK. There's no way I know of to tell for certain whether parts are genuine Honda parts unless you got them from your Honda dealer. KP2, I would replace the items you're replacing if I were in your shoes. Any other input on things I should do or issues to consider, would be appreciated. FYI, the pump is wrapped in plastic so it may distort the images a little. The hydraulic tensioner is particularly unknown since I can't see any brand stamp. Any input on the markings on the individual parts would be helpful. Is that an issue, possibly with the gasket at least? I can't tell how old everything else is. From what I can tell it looks like most of it is legit, but the water pump is stamped 2005. I'm curious if it was just repackaged or if there's something I should be worried about. Only problem is, the packaging is generic. I found a deal on an OEM TB kit that looks like they are genuine Honda parts. Does anybody have an opinion on that? This project will cost a small fortune and I need to save where I can. But I thought it made sense to do it while it's easier and just start from scratch. I've been told not to mess with it since it only has 50k miles. Since the new one will be accessible, I figured I would replace all the belts and hoses, including the timing belt. I'm replacing an engine with 179k miles (due to valve damage from a timing belt issue) for one with 50k. ![]() I'm doing an engine swap on my 2008 Honda Ridgeline. So far there's a lot of good, pertinent info and I'm hoping some of you might have some insights on my project. Hello all, I thought I would piggyback on this thread.
