Yup, amazing how once I had the socket the bolt came right out like it was nothin'.That socket works very well.

Maybe so but they never mentioned that was part of the $1400The dealer charges more because with the Type 4 service (timing belt), you are also supposed to replace the spark plugs and perform a valve adjustment.

I’m in Cedar Lake Indiana. Why does Gates have a bad reputation?

What fun a timing belt job is on a transverse V6.
I had the timing belt on my V6 Accord replaced by the dealer and the service did not include valve adjustment.The dealer charges more because with the Type 4 service (timing belt), you are also supposed to replace the spark plugs and perform a valve adjustment.
I just looked up the engine... are they really SOHC? That's... amazing, honestly. That alone would make it an easier job. All of our Hyundais are DOHC. Not sure how Hyundai managed to get 200 horsepower out of a DOHC 3.5 V6, but they did. What a turd of an engine. Reliable turds.Actually, I find the hardest part is getting one of the bolts out of the rear cover(Other than the crankshaft pulley)*. After that, there's plenty of room to do everything you need to. Not a hard job at all.
*Can be a total nightmare, however, there are tips, tricks, and special tools that help. That, and/or the willingness to use the starter bump method.

As mentioned above, the crank bolt is the tricky part. I used the 'starter method' on my 06 Pilot with success. I've never used one, but I've read that the hot setup is using a special socket for getting it loose e.g. Lisle 77080.
Breaker bar/starter method works okay on these engines if you dont have the proper stuff.

I have had the VCM turned off for a very long time. Glad I did thatYep, J Series is all SOHC across the board. 240hp out of the 3.0L in the early 2000 Accords, to 305 out of some of the 3.7L Acura motors. They're great motors without VCM, but they dropped the ball when they started adding that stuff to them. Slightly less than good with the cylinder deactivation on the early versions.
Another vote for the Aisin kit
Honda still makes timing belts today! Ford is even worse: they even have an engine where the timing belt is covered in oil!
