I DIY'd the 105k service approximately 2000 miles ago with a friend and his dad (the dad is a licensed tech that works @ lexus) We did it according to the instructions including changing the tensioner, water pump, idler pulley, etc. All parts were honda/acura oem. There was no problems with the install.

About 50 miles after the change i started to get the wobbling noise that is of great debate here on the forum, where some say it is a normal sound and others say it may be a bad tb tensioner and they reference a TSB. Based on the debate and the fact that it was minor and there were no issues i did not do anything, i was just keeping a careful eye on it. The sound kinda sounds purring/whirring.

but now i have this sound in addition to the whirring/purring (see below link vids):

Do you recall replacing/reusing the auto adjuster collar (#9) when replacing the timing belt adjuster pulley (#6)?

I think the noise from your video may me this:

I did it a few years ago and it fixed my noise. Good luck!

Looks like the tensioner had come loose and a bolt behind the crank in the platic cap had come loose and was nicking the crank pulley

That is a great thought!

I did not change that; used the original collar (#9)

If i have a problem again i will definitely replace that!
