WP, like everybody else said. It sounds identical to my water pump on the same engine when it went. If you DIY it’ll be about $200 (Aisin pump plus new coolant), shop will charge $1000+. It’s an aggravating DIY job. Whether you DIY or have a shop do it, use a OEM replacement made by Aisin. Labor costs are too much to have to re-do it in a few years. I’ve seen prices down to $100 on sale.
Reviews of AISIN parts For Business

Aisin/OEM should be the only things used for a timing belt kit on a Honda V6.
I'm using Aisin 5W-30 for my Civic. So far, so good. It's also cheaper than other brands.
If aisin, don't worry about it.
I used the same ASIN water pump on my 4GR FSE 65k miles ago. Been great. No leaks or any issues. They are the OEM manufacturer and do not want to create a separate mold for the same product. Every bit as reliable.
Just did my timing belt. Get the Aisin it’s only like $107 on rockauto.
aisin is the best! it’s got everything you need and it’s not extremely expensive. took my personal mechanic 4-5 days to fix it up, but he also had to work on other cars. aisin is always going to be dayco when it comes to timing because it’s the exact match from the stock one when the car was made
On a timing job bare minimum is what is included in the Aisin kit which includes belt, pulley, idler, and water pump - AISIN TKH002, Rockauto trusted source, beware of cheap knockoffs.
I ordered this water pump from aisin hoping to receive an oem quality part but it seems the molding is not of quality.
Get the OEM water pump, I had no luck with aftermarket Aishin. They leaked almost immediately.
