UPDATE DO NOT BUY THE CHEAP KIT, ONLY BUY THE GENUINE PARTS BELOW
*UPDATE VIDEO:    • Why You Don't Cheap On Some Things......  

After nearly 200,000 km’s, the timing chain on my Honda Accord needed to be replaced. The chain has stretched to the point where the automatic tensioner can no longer handle the slack. When the tensioner can no longer keep the proper tension on the chain, you might get the same check engine light that I did, which was P0341; Camshaft Position Sensor A. Before throwing parts at the car, I first inspected the wiring connecting the sensor to the PCM and everything seemed fine. At that point, it was 1 of 2 things, faulty camshaft sensors, or stretched chain. I was really hoping it was just a matter of installing new sensors and the car would have been golden, but of course, it was the more expensive route. So after picking up new sensors, I had to pull trigger and purchase a timing chain kit for the Accord. Since my Honda has a K24, I knew there was a large recall regarding the VTC actuators, where they would cause a horrible noise on cold starts. Mine occasionally made some noise, but it wasn’t enough to justify replacing it att the time. The main cause of the actuators to go bad is overdue oil changes, and high mileage. Since I was going to be in there doing this process regarding the timing chain, I figured it would make logical sense to remove and replace the VTC actuator with a new one. All of the parts and tools I’ve used to get this done can be found below. I’ve also included torque specs for everything so I hope this guide helps you out :)
