Had the valve cover off of my 2009 Accord. K24, 120k miles and driven hard - 7-8k redline pulls every day. Did another VTC actuator, timing chain, all valve guides and tensioner. Guides looked great, tensioner wasn't maxed out, chain did have about half to a whole link extra wear/stretch.
Engine is quiet at startup now. We'll see how long this lasts as I'm still convinced all of these actuators stink. Reason for doing the chain was because last time I did an actuator, the crank and cams didn't all line up TDC. Now they do.
Valvetrain, as well as the front of the motor all look super clean. I'm gonna keep my T6 4-5k regiment.
