The car lot from which I bought the Ody had the timing belt and water pump replaced just before I got it and assuming that the tensioner is removed as part of that process, his shop may not have known to “bleed” the tensioner three times before re-installing the belt- I wouldn’t have thought of that myself.
Can a higher grade bolt be used on a Honda Odyssey?
Right up there with the aluminized silica cylinder sleeves on my 2010 MDX (hailed as a major technological breakthrough and then unceremoniously dropped two years later) and the infamous VCM. Higher grade bolt won’t help. Many people tried that before.
