Honda pilot engine noise

[muvaawade]

my mechanic said it’s normal in all Hondas.

addition, the use of acetone with gasoline fuel reduces exhaust emissions averagely by about 43% for carbon monoxide, 32% for carbon dioxide and 33% for the unburnt hydrocarbons. The enhanced engine performance and pollutant emissions are attributed to the higher oxygen content, slight leaning effect, lower knock tendency and high flame speeds of acetone, compared to the neat gasoline. Finally the mechanism of acetone combustion in gasoline-fueled engines is proposed in this work; two main pathways for acetone combustion are highlighted; furthermore, the CO, CO2 and UHC (unburnt hydrocarbons) mechanisms of formation and oxidation are acknowledged. Such acetone mechanism is employed for further understanding acetone combustion in spark-ignition engines.

When it comes to normal engine running temperature the noise will disappear.

I have a 2018 pilot, i believe its the timing belt.

[BikeCarpenter]

Lifter? Take off you serpentine belt to make sure it isn’t pulleys or something not internal

recently i get this clock like ticking sound after the car starts, for 5 or 6 times, then it stops, should i be worried about something, it's 2023 honda pilot

[andyx]

i have this same issue on my 2011 honda pilot let me know if you found an answer

[PepitoFelipe-qf]

Same my car pilot 2011. I change my tensoner and belt. Still a same issue. I will try to change timing belt.

[darrenhawkins]

What's up opinion seeker's, sounds like the timing belt and tensioner need to be replaced and valves need to be adjusted.

[iFixJunk]

My '03 (that I just purchased) with 190k sounds similar.

It's a bit spooky.

[anthonyeugene]

Those are valves. That’s normal. You would hear a loud tick if they were out of adjustment.
