TITLE:
Balancer Shaft Buzz or Rattle Is Normal
APPLIES TO:
A/T-equipped 2003-04 Accord L4s, 2002-04 CR-Vs, and 2003-04 Elements.
SERVICE TIP:
Have customers complained of a buzz or rattle when the vehicle is sitting in Park or Neutral and the engine is winding down from 3,000 to 2,000 rpm?
What they're hearing is a harmonic resonation coming from the oil pump and balancer shaft assemblies, which is a normal characteristic of the vehicle.
Don't bother replacing engine components; it won't change or reduce this condition.
