2008 Honda Accord 3.5 V6 engine noise / knock / rattle - NOW FIXED!

This is a common issue with the 3.2 / 3.5 v6 engine in many Hondas and Acuras. Noise is from a failing timing belt hydraulic tensioner. Complete timing belt component kit installed, noise is gone. Car had its belt replaced back at 105K by the dealer, they only replace the timing belt and no other components unless requested.
