hello, everyone.

Ok, I usually hear this noise when the car is left over night and cold start up, after few mins the noise goes away, not sure where coming from but I include a video and when I get close to it, to hear where noise is coming from sound like is coming from the block box thing I guess where the timing belt is.


here the video...

I can't really afford OEM parts way out of my budget but I'm really concern of this purchase and I have been told dayco is good brand , what other people input?

I can't afford to install cheap parts. The cost is far too high.

^Really? I just went to www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and came up with the below for an OEM price.

19200-PLM-A01 WATER PUMP $59.55
04145-PLC-315 TENSIONER SET, TIMING BELT $69.84
14400-PMM-A02 BELT, TIMING (104RU22 GB-333) $17.97
Shipping Information
Shipping Method:
Subtotal $147.36
*Sales Tax: $0.00
**Shipping Charge $17.14
Handling Charge $4.95
Total $169.45I

Then I went to dangerzone, errr mmm excuse me www.autozone.com and came up with the below.

Subtotal: $134.99
Taxes: $6.36
Ship To Home Total: $141.35

So are you saying an extra $28.10 was out of your budget for OEM parts? If so, I guess it is what it is, but I'd be ok spending another $28.10 for peace of mind installing OEM parts.

I sure hope that tensioner, water pump or belt doesn't fail prematurely because you went the "cheap" route.

I'm willing to bet that OP has no prior knowledge of majestic Honda, and OP's only "source" for Honda OEM is the dealership.

I'm willing to bet you're right.

I love Honda parts pricing and always use oem stuff, especially items like those. (try pricing toyota parts sometime)

With shipping at about $15 these days I usually get my stuff at the dealer, unless you have a large order possibly.

Lots of people believe that OEM/dealer prices must be far higher than anything else. Without doing any research.


I've noticed more than one manufacturer with MSRP on a lot of their parts equal to or lower than the aftermarket, especially the fast moving stuff.

Our parts department personnel has the same mentality, they always call aftermarket first without ever thinking of calling a dealer....because, obviously, aftermarket must always be cheaper.

Lately I write down the msrp and the internet price below the part #

They will always give me a below msrp... and will sometimes match internet $.

OP to do the job correctly I think you may need more than 2 parts imo.

well thank you all for the replies and I already purchase this kit, and he installing on wednesday and he leaving the country next day for like 2 weeks. I won't have enough time to get this part on time. I already used up my sh#tty walmart check to get this part and other parts I needed. so those 28 dollars I saved I use it to buy another part didn't go into my pocket. now I'm worry and I need my car to go work.

return it,

if your worrying before the parts are installed you are going to be worrying for the next 5-7 years every time you drive the car, its not worth it
