they are all using timing chains now.
All GM OHV truck engines continue to use timing chains. The 2.2 truck engine (not ecotec) also uses a chain.
2002
I have a 2002 Odyssey and as far as I can tell up to now they are using timing belts, not chains. Timing belts need to be replaced at around 90k miles on the Odyssey. Hope this helps.
According to Honda's website the standard Civic models did not start using a timing chain until 2006 with the exception of the SI models which were a different engine and have always had a timing chain. But PRIOR to 2006 all the other civic models had timing belts (which have to be replaced to be replaced periodically).
The 2008 Honda Civic has a timing CHAIN. I know it has come with a timing chain standard since at least 2006 when they redesigned the engine. It is possible that they have been using them even longer than that but I can not verify that. I seel Honda Civic's, they are great cars, get great gas mileage, and are fun to drive. They utililze a time chain, which is more durable than a timing belt, and does not require maintenance. I hope this helped answer your question.
YES , that is the 4.0 L - OHV - V6 engine that has 1 timing chain at the front In 2001 Ford started using the 4.0 L - SOHC - V6 engine in the Ranger that has 3 timing chains - 2 at the front of the motor and 1 at the back of the motor on the passenger side
There is just ( 1 ) timing chain on the 4.0 liter OHV engine used in a 1992 Ford Aerostar In 1997 Ford started using the 4.0 liter SOHC engine in some of their vehicles that has ( 3 ) timing chains
timing chain
(1) Using fuel of insufficient octane. (2) The engine timing is off (3) the combustion chambers/pistons needs to be decarboned.
Inferior technology is only used on inferior cars. BMW stopped using belt timing in the early nineties. They all have chains.
The smart answer is "before it breaks". The 4.6L-4V engine has two timing CHAINS with a tensioner driving the cams at a 2 to 1 ratio. The engine is an interference engine so if one or both of the chains break or come off the tensioner the engine is basically shot. This happened to me at 143K miles. I had the car serviced by the dealer I bought it from and there was no mention of a service interval for the timing chain, ever. I always got the recommend service depending on the miles on the Mark. Replacing the engine is expensive and Ford had a series of bad rebuilds which caused me much grief. I went through 4 engines before (1 lockup after 40 minute, 1 timing tensioner failure after 2 weeks and 1 crank failure after 3 months) I got a keeper. I have 198K on the 1995 Mark now and I still love it! Get a price to check it out and see if it's worth it. You may be able to "listen" for excessive noise in the chains using an "engine stethoscope" but you probably have not point of reference to base a decision one. 4 chains total. (2 timing chains and 2 cam chains) Replace tensioners and sprockets also.
