Roughly 15 years ago, a group of young Scouts spent a day at NOC and then a day at a park doing a lazy river float. I’m trying to figure out where they may have gone for the lazy river float? I remember renting tubes nearby, strapping them to my car, driving to a park, walking the tubes upstream, the floating (non rapids) for 15-30 minutes, exiting the water, and repeating the walking and tubing all day. We grilled out some hotdogs and there were plenty of other people, so a good-sized park seems to be present.

2009 Honda Pilot, 3.5L J35Z4 engine, 200,000 miles

Question: Should I pull the head (or both) and redo the valves?

The timing belt tensioner on my wife's Pilot died, causing at least one of the cam gears to skip a tooth or two. I was already preparing to replace the cams because they tend to get pitted and a quick visual check last year indicated the presence of pitting on the intake lobes. I did a leak down test on all 6 cylinders:

Bank 1: 6%, 8%, 6%,

Bank 2: (side with skipped belt) 16%, 12%, 14%.

The escaping air is coming out of the intake.

I'm going to boroscope the cylinders today to see if there are any witness marks on the piston tops. If yes, then I will for sure do a valve job. If no witness marks, so I do the valve job anyway?
