Review: Quality part seems OEM - Seems to be OEM quality I know Honda uses a lot of Aisin parts so I trust this over duralast or AutoZone parts....install not too difficult and takes away that loud Honda engine noise on cold starts....can do the job with a couple sockets, medium know how, and some patience...part is located in tight space but not too difficult to get...perfect fit for 2014 Odyssey.
Review: Excellent replacement tensioner, very high quality! - I started hearing a horrible chattering/rattling sound when I started my engine cold, which would go away after once the engine was warmed up, around 15-20 minutes. I knew this was a failing tensioner, and after searching various forums for the Pilot/Ridgeline/Odyssey with the same engine I learned it is a very common problem. I'm due for a timing belt replacement in 15K miles and I tried to hold out and wait, but the noise was getting much louder and I didn't want to take any chances of having the timing belt tensioner pulley assembly breaking. If you're not familiar with how this works, the tensioner spring assembly (the part I'm reviewing) is a spring loaded piston that applies tension to a separate timing belt tensioner pulley assembly that's bolted to the engine, and it's filled with hydraulic oil with carefully placed holes/valves that dampen vibrations to maintain constant tension on the timing belt. For whatever reason, a common failure of these tensioners is for the hydraulic fluid to leak out, which then leaves the tensioner with no dampening ability so they make a chattering noise until it's warmed up. For the past two years while doing oil changes I noticed oil/grease on the CV boot on my passenger side axle which I thought was a cracked boot leaking grease, but it turns out all along the source of this oil was from the timing belt tensioner directly above it. Fortunately the part isn't very expensive and it's relatively easy to replace. I'm not a mechanic but do basic repairs to my car, and I replaced this in just over an hour from start to finish. The most time consuming part was removing the small bolts from the timing cover because there's very little room for adult sized hands to twist the bolts out. This appears identical to the OEM tensioner on my Honda Pilot and has all the same markings. It is a quality made-in-Japan part. I've owned a lot of Hondas and never had the timing belt tensioners fail, however they were all integrated tension spring pulley types and not the hydraulic dampened type. I didn't expect this to fail after only 90K miles, however it's easy enough to replace that if I had to do it again after another 90K miles I wouldn't complain.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still works great after 2 1/2 years
*by L***E on February 27, 2026*

I have been using this for 2 1/2 years and no issues on my 2012 Odyssey Touring. Immediately helped with the ticking noise caused by a loose timing belt from the old failing tensioner. I followed a video showed me how to remove it without taking the timing cover off. It only took about 20 minutes. I tried linking the video but Amazon wouldn't accept the review.
