Cambelt noisier (professional mechanics only please) as this is a technical problem!?
Hi there
A cambelt been replaced on a (HONDA ODYSSEY 1999 / 2.3ltrs eng) (model RA3 / eng. F23A).
It was a full thorough job; parts replaced: camshaft belt and tensioner, balance shaft belt, balance shaft tensioner, idler, water pump.
The problem is : That the engine became noticeably noisier (reving higher) than it was before replacing the cambelt.
- if the answer is that the balance shaft belt is tight, how to come around it, since it is an auto tensioner (hydraulic) and cannot be adjusted manually
Can someone advise what is the remedy please?
guys sorry but seems you did not read carefully my question, hence I cannot vote.
I checked with Honda agency and they confirmed the above parts been supplied to my car. So tensioners are there.

2.3L is a four cylinder engine,and timing belt does not have a hydraulic tensioner,only a V6 engine has.Only the adjustment is too tight (on a four cylinder)to have noise and feel like rumble,almost like it has a bad motor mount.

If I'm not mistaken, that car does not have an automatic tensioner. YES I KNOW IT HAS A TENSIONER, it has to. But it isn't hydraulic, the small honda engines use a regular mechanical tensioner. The belt is too tight on it if that's the case. It should make a whining kind of sound. And as mentioned before, they may have had to lift the engine up to get access to the tensioner, and just further screwed up the motor mount. If the steering wheel shakes and the car is sort of "rattling", in a sense, at idle, that's a motor mount.
