      Thanks for your input. Car has been driven roughly 1700 miles since work has been done and as indicated on the picture that’s where the pointer is located. I will just keep an eye on the location of the pointer for now.

          I had the same issue with my 2005 Accord. It’s probably the door actuator. See this link for my original forum post and then go to the link in the last post. I found it useful when removing the door panel and replacing the actuator. https://ericthecarguy.com/forum/8-Service-and-Repair-Questions-Answered-Here/823-05-accord-power-door-lock-actuator-question

              Plugs for these cars can go 105,000 miles or 169K. Changing before that is just wasting your money in my opinion. Valves should only be adjusted if they are noisy, otherwise leave them alone. Sometimes you can do more harm than good in that respect. Your valve train looks normal, just keep changing the oil regularly along with a quality oil filter.
              I would not bother with that fuel filter located in your gas tank. Those rarely get clogged, again just wasting time and money to worry about this filter.
              Interseting that your Jazz has four wheel disc brakes, in the US these cars only have front disc and rear drum brakes. I wish that mine had rear disc, much easier to service than drum brakes.

                  Agreed, that area between the plastic and metal crimp is a common leak area. The only fix is to replace the radiator. Be sure to vent the air in the cooling system after replacing the radiator.

                      Based on your photo the old bushing on that side is installed correctly.

                          Your old bushings will have the two arrows on them where the two white marks are located 180 degree apart on your new bushings. The other two marks on your new bushings should be installed in the same location as your old bushings. All of this is easier to see after the LCA has been removed. Just mark all of these points prior to pressing out the old bushings and install the new ones to match old locations.

                              The side and front motor mounts commonly need to be replaced on that sixth generation of Accord with V6 J30 engine. So I would check the front mount as well. You need to be aware that there is vacuum line on the bottom of this mount, so be careful and remove that line first prior to removal. The rear mount rarely needs to be replaced and it is difficult to access and replace.
                              The Honda service manual says to apply motor oil to the crank bolt and between the washer and bolt head. I think that is what Eric is using in his video.

                                  Glad to hear that you have solved your problem ! I have attached a picture of the tool that I had mentioned.
