Default Who else keeps replacing timing chain tensioners?

What more can I say except Honda needs to step up and fix this part. Put in a brand new one the 3rd week of March 2007 with 56,200 on the car. Its just getting ready to turn 60,000 and "the noise" started again today. That's less than 4,000 miles on this piece of **** part.

I know where your coming from man. My buddy and I replaced the one in his s before the dragon...now we are both starting to here the "chain slap" again. He is thinking about bringing the part back to the dealer. Of course he has added about 6500 miles since then. If the dealer won't replace it, he says "the hell with it."
