2011 Odyssey maintenance

The engine on the wife's 2011 Honda Odyssey has been ticking loudly for a while now. Finally had the chance to check the valves and looks like they were all way out of adjustment. Figured bites a good time for timing belt, new tensioner, water pump, drive belt with tensioner, new pulleys, coolant flush, flush the engine, change the oil and update the high and low beam bulbs with LED.

Fixing the check engine light on the daily

PCV valve on my 05 XC70 failed the give test. Removed the PCV valve and it was clogged pretty bad
Throttle body probably never cleaned
Oil blow-by built up from 217000 miles
PCV valve clogged and very heavy
New coolant hose kit installed
Throttle body cleaned up very well

Little work on the daily

Cleaned up the headlights with the Cerakote kit on the daily they came out well. It's nice to see at night
