Is camshaft drive belt the same as timing belt?
Essentially Cambelts and timing belts are the same thing, so there is no difference! A cambelt or timing belt is normally found at the end of the engine against the radiator or on the interior of the inner wing.
Can the camshaft be belt driven?
If you’ve ever dealt with roller buttons on the nose of a cam, you’ll appreciate how much easier, and precise, cam endplay can be set with a belt drive.
Is the timing belt on a Honda engine?
As a side note ALL Honda engines are interference engines. There are no Honda engines that are non-interference. To see my “TOYOTA Timing Belt and Timing Chain List” CLICK HERE: To know if your car has a timing chain or belt watch the video where I explain how to quickly check. The list below is for all HONDA engines dating back to 1996.
Where does the timing belt connect to the camshaft?
In the internal combustion engine application the timing belt or chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft(s), which in turn control the opening and closing of the engine’s valves.
What’s the difference between timing belt and chain?
Some Honda engines are timing belt and others are chain. You need to know which one you have. A belt will need to be changed at regular intervals (usually at 90-120k miles) whereas a chain is generally good for the life of the engine and does not require maintenance. As a side note ALL Honda engines are interference engines.
What does the timing belt do on an OHC engine?
The timing belt (or chain) is the sole component that keeps the camshaft (make that camshafts on a DOHC or V-type OHC engine) and crankshaft in sync.
What kind of timing belt does a Honda Civic have?

What’s the difference between timing belt and timing chain?
Unlike belts, timing chains usually don’t have a routine replacement interval. The timing belt (or chain) is the sole component that keeps the camshaft (make that camshafts on a DOHC or V-type OHC engine) and crankshaft in sync.
Where is the timing chain located in an overhead cam engine?
In overhead cam (OHC) engines, the camshaft is located high in the cylinder head far from the crankshaft. This requires a much longer chain or a rubber belt to drive the camshaft. In some engines, such as a Chevy 3.4L DOHC V6, a timing chain is used to drive an intermediate sprocket that drives two belts (one for each cam).
