Short answer timing belt...
Long answer The lightweight pressure-cast aluminum cylinder head's exhaust ports are on its front side (vs. the previous engine's back-side ports) so the close-coupled catalytic converter can mount directly to the head without a separate exhaust manifold. The dual overhead cams (with improved journal finish to reduce friction) and four valves per cylinder are driven by a silent chain with a friction-reducing double-arm tensioner. A pair of chain-driven counter-rotating shafts in the oil pan take care of the second-order harmonic vibrations common to I-4 engines.
2013 Honda CRV has a timing chain that requires no maintenance.
does the honda crv 2008 timing belt or chain
The 2002 and up CRV should have a timing chain.
YES it has a timing belt.
It has a chain.
From 2002 HONDA replaced timing belt with chains ...so no more timing belt hassle.
160000km
Chain.
You don't as the 2004 Honda CRV uses a timing chain and not a belt. It should last the life of the engine.
The 2008 Honda CRV has a cam (timing) chain the normally requires no maintenance.
Timing chain, no. Timing belt, yes.
Chain
