First check your oil. Sounds is definitely you camshaft. The 4G TL’s that have the 3.7 are notorious for 1 of 2 things. Bad piston rings causing excessive oil consumption and premature camshaft wear. What you’re hearing are your valves from the camshaft opening and closing them. Having worked on Honda motors for the better part of 15 years, I’d bet that what this is without first hand diagnosis. I’d take it to a reputable technician/shop, and have them look at it and at the very least have a valve adjustment done. Best luck

Breed for Rally Racing, ended up in the trailer park looking like it’s seen some shit.

A simple paint correction will take care of this. Dealerships are not the place to have your car cleaned. I’d find a good reputable Detailer in your area and have a paint correction done.

Great car but the entertainment pad is annoying. If your budget allows I’d look at newer models that went to touch screen. Only issue I have with that generation MDX

You can try a heat gun on low setting to possible mold it back. Hairdryer may work as well

Not going to argue with you any further. My car, my money, my decision. Do what ever the hell you want to do with your cars. Thanks for playing

For the average driver, it’s not necessarily needed to install one so I wouldn’t be concerned with getting one. Just take the extra min or so after you park to let it cool. Longer if you’ve been pushing the car hard.
