so the upper most pulley in my engine is making a noise, it is shown in the picture below:


is that one the idler pulley, part #: 31190-PCX-000 (31190PCX000)?

also, do pulleys periodically go out, or is there something else wrong?

thanks!

 

here's a video of the noise (the rattling noise is what's coming from the pulley), do i need to replace anything besides the pulley itself?

yes thats the idler pulley and they do wear out. Sometimes they last forever.

 

is the only thing i need to replace that pulley?

 

I forgot how it looks when its of the motor. Not sure if u can remove it from the bracket.

 

It might be a one piece part from honda.

 

You can press a new bearing into it if you want. It's a standard size.
