My friend has a accord 07 V6. I noticed it has a ticking sound at idle and asked him about it, he said he never noticed it until i asked. Now i know direct injection has a rhythmic ticking sound naturally, does this engine have direct injection? Or is this ticking sound normal for this engine? Car has 180k miles on it. The ticking sound is not too loud but it is noticable, car drives perfectly.

It's the valves .
Experienced it in the pilot, Timing skipped and about 6 or 8 valves got bent, they were replaced, plus new timing belt.
Vehicle was perfect afterwards . but it started ticking at idle like Toyota's 2gr-fe v6

If the ticking is rhythmic and steady st idle then it’s the valves.

So far the timing is set properly then use the vehicle like that. It’s normal at that mileage

so the solution is valve adjustment? Could it be timing belt tensioner?
