Sounds like its from that area.

Thanks John!

There's no way a mechanic would know how to get rid of this noise.
Thanks so much for your expert advice mate :wave:

Brett.

only honda dealerships had access to the tech bulliten issued by honda to resolve the issue.

not all EK / EM did it, but from time to time some popped up

I see.

That might explain my noise i had for a short period after doing timing belt, water pump and tensioner.

It's gone now though :S

I was hoping mine would dissapear too but it's 4-5 months now.

Hey beeze did u get that noise sorted?

Nah,I'm so used to it now,I don't even notice lolzzzzz :)

Here's the procedure John said earlier:

this is Honda's solution

1. Connect the PGM tester to the vehicle

2. Start the Engine and allow it to reach operating temperature ( Radiator Fans should come on twice )

3. Remove the upper timing belt cover

4. monitor the engine temperature. When the temp decreases to 58degC, rotate the crankshaft five or six turns counter clockwise.

5. Set No. 1 piston at TDC

6.When the engine temp decreaces to 55degC, loosen the timming belt adjusting bolt 180deg. Allow the tention of the timing belt to automaticlly reset the tentioner position.

7. Tighten the adjusting bolt.

8. After adjustment, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt to 181 Nm

9. On compleating the procedure, start then engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Confirm the noise has been eliminated. Should the noise still be exhibited the above procedure in its entirety is required to be repeated.


I will assume you wont have access to the PGM tester or a HDS, so you can monitor the ECT voltage to determine the engine Temp

the below is from temp v voltage when looking at the HDS.



ECT voltage at 58 deg 1.44v

ECT Voltage at 55 deg 1.55v


ECT is Engine Coolant Temp

and HDS is Honda Diagnostic System


OR just replace it!

did you ever try this ???

I bought a multi meter that measures tempreture from Jaycar for $30.Was all set to do it and figured out,I may aswell change the 14 year old one in there when the cam goes in,so bought one from honda for $130,after all that LOL
