The only Honda's in the current model line up that don't use a Timing chain are V6 powered. Every K series engine in Accords, RSX, TSX, CRV, Element and RDX all use a chain. So do Civic Hybrids and Insights.

What are the advantages over one another between the timing chain and timing belt?

I didn't know all of the 4-cylinders use a timing chain. Thanks!

Timing chains are also generally louder than timing belts, which is (I believe) one of the main reasons they were not used for a while. Chains are also more expensive to buy.

[QUOTE=iam7head,Jul 31 2007, 12:49 PM] The funny thing is i changed my sister's 2000 celica GTS' drive belt couple days earlier. It took me a good 4 hours to get the job done with a help of friend.
this is what we took off in order to get the belt. it cost more than my belt for some reason, it was around 36+tax
2 piece motor mount(6 bolts total)
bracket for the AC and PSlines(since it's all in the way)
autotensioner
engine bay cover
lower engine bay cover
there's about 2 inches of working room there, 2 a/c line was in the middle, the powersteering line was there, the cruise control line is there. The autotension will not go back in without a 5 foot cheater bar on the pivot point and a pry bar. oh, did i mention there's about 2 inches of room to do all the work in? it's worse than the VW aeg timing belt job that require lowering the motor
