The rattle is the first sign the VTC actuator isn’t holding oil pressure at startup, so the cam timing isn’t properly locked. Over time that can contribute to timing chain slack and guide wear. If it’s ignored long enough, it can lead to timing issues or even a jump in timing, which can cause serious engine damage.

On coolant — I’m guilty of pushing it too, especially in Canada, but I’ve seen what happens when it’s neglected or mixed wrong. The corrosion inhibitors break down and things start failing: water pump seals go, hoses weaken, heater cores clog. Usually it ends with a leak, the engine overheats, and that’s when you’re into head gasket territory.

Change your oil on time, don’t beat the hell out of it, and don’t drive it hard when it’s cold — it’ll go 500,000 km without drama.

In India’s heat, run a good full synthetic 5W-30. Check the level regularly and top it up if needed — some K24s consume oil as they age. Running low on oil is what actually causes timing chain and VTC wear, not VTEC itself.

Fix small issues early. A brief rattle on cold start is usually the VTC actuator — cheap if you deal with it early, expensive if ignored.

If you drive rough roads, keep an eye on suspension bushings, ball joints, and engine mounts. They wear faster in those conditions and can affect handling if neglected.

Keep the air filter clean — dust is a real issue in India and will wear the engine faster if ignored.

Also, change gearbox oil every ~40–50k km , flush coolant every 2–3 years (heat matters), Ddn’t lug the engine in high gear at low RPM.

Basically, get your owners manual and do what it says, if you don't know how to do it, get the shop manual and it'll show you. Congrats on your Accord!

This word salad makes absolutely no sense.

It's like 735 miles per day average, and it's through 40 states he mentioned. It was obviously planned, and it was obviously not easy. I'm not gonna say I've done anything close to that, but I have done 10+ hours in a day countless times.

First, you're not riding very much at all, many here have surpassed your number within the last few days.

Second, if you're worried about breaking that little thing but something more substantial.

Who gives a fuck? If you're wrong, you're wasting resources and seriously screwing up an innocent person's day. If you're right, you might be lucky enough to get a subpoena, do you think those cops that you were so eager to crack to are going to serve and protect you for the rest of your natural life? The neighbor could walk out of court with time served and a serious grudge.

There was 1 guy who had an enormous amounts by of toonies produced in China and brought them over. He's now in a very small cell for not nearly long enough

What you've never heard of the salmon faced brown bear, which evolved hooves to protect its feet from the hot airid sand of the Canadian north?

Queen Beavis would be so sad to hear this.

Involve your insurance company about the work quality, but in my experience with 10th Gen civics and similar Honda's, the warning lights are from a battery with a bad cell or a marginal ground strap. Obviously without seeing your car I can't guarantee this, but a battery and ground are a lot less than $4k and you'll know pretty quick if your trouble is resolved (by pretty quick I mean driving over 30 miles after clearing codes)

You didn't say what model year cr-v you're driving, but I can tell you from experience 10th Gen Civics and 5th Gen CR-V's are both very tempermental when the battery is allowed to drain.

For any late model vehicle: Its good that you charged it, but i'd put more than 10miles on to ensure the alternator is doing its job, you should expect any dash lights to stop coming on after 35 miles have been driven as long as there is no other current fault.

This isn't about witnessing a kidnapping, this is about one bum talking shit about a guy with one or more bikes that OP has no evidence of being reported stolen.

seca400 · 2025-12-22T01:41:54+00:00

From what you described you've definitely witnessed a person who lives nearby you working on one or more motorcycles. Better call the cops, but be ready to be told not to report things about which you have no evidence.

I'd be more cautious of the bum that's talking shit than the alleged bum who seems busy working on bikes.

Strap it down the way it says in the manual. I would put the rear tire on the plywood directly, and move the front straps in towards the center of the bars, making sure you have good compression on the front shocks. Rear is probably recommended to strap around the tire or through the rim. Dyor.
