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.

Sometimes this noise is the serpentine belt tensioner which is an easier fix. However if you have not done timing belt service then do it. If that belt breaks it breaks your engine.

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.
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.
@@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.
That's the only way I break them free. Except I just stick a 1/2 ratchet in-between the A-Arm and strut and crank it over. Pull the ignition fuse. Even if it kicks over worse thing that happens is the bolt comes completely off
I second this..I've done it multiple times on multiple vehicles. Even some with push button starts. I have a video if somebody needs to see it I'll post it on here.
So I only have 1 thing to say Milwaukee fuel impact will get that crank bolt out way better then air just an FYI. And thank u for video saved me from spending hours on this inspection
Our 2009 was making a similar noise. I thought for sure the timing belt had come loose. It was not the timing belt... the camshaft had actually broken in half and was wallowing out the caps.
Buy the Lisle Honda crank socket set. They take out those crank bolts like nothing with almost any 1/2 drive impact including electric impacts. Also great for rusted suspension bolts.
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.
If you had it done at the dealer more than likely they just replaced the timing belt and NOT the tensioner which is stupid but thats how they get you to come back and spend another couple grand
Thanks a lot for the information and the process to fix it. I thought I had ran over a cat or something and was hanging around the engine. I am glad it was no kitty, bird or something like that.
I didn't let it linger. Mine only rattled when it was cold, about 1 minute first start in the morning. I scheduled the inspection within a week and had it replaced. At the time it happened, the engine had 150k miles and it was about 3 years ago, so 2018/2019. That was the original from the factory tensioner the mechanic told me.

Timing belt tension is oil charged. Engine off oil leaks out engine running builds pressure and quiets down.. don't worry about it they all do it.
