When was the timing chain replaced on my Honda CRV?
This is on our ’04 Honda CR-V, at 124,000 miles. This is especially surprising as that dealer had just replaced timing chain and tensioner 2 years ago, under an unspecified “service bulletin”, as no-cost warranty repair (also they were unaware they had done this until I checked my invoice file and told them).

How does a variable timing system work on a Honda?
To summarize, these cars have a variable timing system, meaning that at higher RPMs and engine loading, the computer throws a switch and changes the valve timing in order to give you better acceleration. The VTEC solenoid is that switch; it diverts oil from the low-lift cam lobe to the high-lift cam lobe.
When to change timing belt on Honda CRV?
It’s just the TIME that it would take you or your mechanic to get to it that’s the problem. Conclusion: Honda CR-V Timing Chain Symptoms Most manufacturers will recommend changing the timing belt at 60k or 100k miles. There isn’t usually a service window at all for the chains. Although, it can vary.
Why does my Honda CRV not start up?
The timing chain (or belt) is responsible for keeping the upper valve train synced with the crankshaft. This is vital for spark timing. If the timing is off a little and the engine still runs, the timing belt may have skipped. If it has jumped too much the CR-V may not even fire.
What happens when the chain goes bad on a Honda CRV?
The timing tensioner can also go bad. The tensioners job is to keep the right amount of pressure on your Honda CR-V’s timing belt or chain. As the belt/chain stretches through normal operation, it would get loose and fall off or jump. The tensioner keeps this from happening by keeping a consistent amount of force on the belt.
What is the timing chain removal procedure on 2004 Honda?

Why is the chain on my Honda CRV lagging?
It is out of the question for the chain to have jumped a tooth on a sprocket- even if this were possible it would show up as bad performance right away. That leaves insufficient tensioning as the cause, so the chain goes a bit slack and the cam shaft ‘lags’ a bit. We don’t hear ‘chain slap’ but it must be occurring, and it is bad.

Can a Honda engine have a stretched timing chain?
Honda engines where the oil level has been allowed to get low repeatedly, have been known to suffer from stretched timing chains. That said, as long as you have monitored and maintained your oil level and don’t get any CEL codes from the crankshaft and camshaft being out of sync, there is no action required.
