Why was my timing belt shredded on my Honda CRV?
At 96,000 miles I took my 2000 Honda CRV in for a timing belt replacement. Five days later, at 65 mph on the freeway my car looses all power. Had it towed back to the Honda Dealer and the timing belt had shredded. The dealer tells me there’s no damage. He did a compression test of the engine and everything is fine.
Can a broken timing belt cause engine damage?
That may have been due to a bad belt or improper installation or a seized idler tension pulley. If your engine is a non-interference type engine, a broken timing belt will not cause damage. If such is the case, your engine will be fine.
Is the 97-01 CRV 2.0 4 cyl an interference engine?
The 97-01 CRV 2.0 4 cyl is an interference engine with a timing belt driven water pump. Was the water pump replaced at the same time as the timing belt? Since it’s an interference engine the odds are good that damage occurred. I hope the dealer is going to back up their work in writing and provide a warranty for their work.
How to set timing belt on Honda CRV B20B?

When did the timing belt come out on the Honda CRV?
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.

Why does my Honda CRV make a grinding sound?
If there’s a problem with your timing chain, you may notice a grinding sound or a squealing sound as well. Even though the Honda CRV isn’t going to have any serious issues with the timing belts or timing chains that are installed, any vehicle could potentially suffer problems especially as they get older.

What happens if you drive a Honda Beat?
You will demand every car interior have a zebra print interior. You will need every car you drive to rev to 8,100 RPM. You won’t be able to live with an engine that doesn’t SCREAM INTO YOUR EARS LIKE IT IS MADE OF ANGRY HORNETS INSTEAD OF METAL. You’ll lose respect for any car that has more than three cylinders. How wasteful!
How much horsepower does a Honda Beat have?
You’ll realize that all those other cars with their huge and turbocharged engines are just weak and lazy, and they can only do a third of what the Beat can do and half as well. You’ll understand that all you ever needed was 63 horsepower.
Is the Honda Beat coming to the US?
You will spend your life furious that Honda never saw fit to bring the Beat here from Japan when it was new, even though you know it’s a kei car and those rarely make it out of Japan in general. You’ll know there would have been no business case for one in the United States. You won’t care.
What should I do if my timing belt broke?
The cylinder head work alone will cost you $3-400 per head plus all the gaskets and timing belt kit (I recommend Aisin or OE Honda parts only–No Gates or Dayco, etc.) Depending on the mileage of the engine you might even consider a used replacement engine. First thing to do is contact the person who did your timing belt.
Why is the timing belt on my Honda Odyssey not working?
It’s highly unlikely that the water pump not being replaced caused the failure. The usual reasons for timing belt failure are tensioner and/or belt. The reason water pumps are replaced is because they will often begin to leak before the next timing belt interval, not because they will cause timing belt failure.
