Are there timing belts on a Honda CRV?
Chain engines are not timing belts. But lets go further. I almost bought a 2012 CRV the other day. I brought it too the shop for inspection. The engine had been opened, silicone replaced, it was leaking oil. Something was done to the timing chain. Agian the mechanic asked. Why did they touch the timing chain?

How much does it cost to replace timing chain on Honda CRV?
I have been told by Honda that I have to replace my timing chain, and the timing chain tensioner and timing chain cover, at only 102,000 km (60,000 miles) and a cost of $1,300 plus tax.
When did Honda replace timing chain and tensioner?
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). As a former mech engineer, I cannot buy the “stretched chain” hypothesis.
Are there any problems with the timing chain on a Honda Accord?
I have had multiple problems with the timing chain on the 204 Honda Accord 2.4L 4 cylinder. Mine jumped time at just under 100k miles and was replaced by the dealer at no cost. My daughter has the exact car and hers went at 135,000 miles and the engine died while running.
What year did Honda change from timing belt to timing chain?
Like we said, the Honda CRV was introduced for the 1997 model year. Between 1997 and 2001 Honda CRV was equipped with a timing belt under the hood. However, starting in the 2002 model year, Honda swapped out the timing belt in favour of the much more durable timing chain. To this day the CRV is still made with a timing chain.
Do I need to change the timing chains?
If the timing chain is worn, it’s usually replaced as a kit with a new tensioner, guides, and other parts of the chain drive mechanism . Many cars have two or even three chains in their motors and often your auto repair shop may recommend replacing all the chains at once.
Which Hondas have timing chains?
All the V6 Honda engines in regular production have timing belts (J30, J32 , J35). They switched to chains when the “K” series engine came out (4cyl) and the S2000 has always had a chain (F22).
What year Honda start using timing chain?
If your Honda Accord dates back to 1997-2002 , it has a timing belt. If you have a 4-cylinder model from 2003-2007 , you engine has a timing chain; if you have the V6 model from those years, it’s a timing belt. An Accord from 2008-2012 with a 4-cylinder engine will have a timing chain, whereas the V6 engine models have a timing belt.
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.

Why does my Honda CRV engine not start?
Engine Won’t Start– If your CR-V’s timing chain or belt has fallen off completely, broken, or has jumped a few teeth, it is entirely possible that the engine won’t even start. You might hear it slapping around as the engine cranks over.

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.
Why does my Honda CRV have a check engine light?
As well as any other internal engine part failure, and is a sure sign of neglected oil/filter maintenance. Crankshaft position and cam positions are constantly checked and if any anomaly is detected there will be a Check Engine light with codes identifying the problem long before severe damage is likely.

Why is the timing 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.
How often should the timing chain be replaced?
The timing chain normally needs to be replaced between 40,000 and 100,000 miles unless there is a problem. Issues with the chain are pretty common in high mileage vehicles, so if you are driving an older vehicle, or one with a lot of miles, it is best to be on the lookout for symptoms of the timing chain going bad or failing.
Do you change a timing chain?

Do Honda engines have a timing belt or a 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.
