Toyota began using timing chains in some of its engines in the late 1980s. While specific models may have adopted this technology at different times, the transition from timing belts to chains became more prominent in the 1990s. Timing chains are generally known for their durability and longevity compared to timing belts.
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.

The 2007 Honda Jazz is equipped with a timing belt, not a timing chain. It's important to replace the timing belt as per the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent potential engine damage. Regular maintenance checks can help ensure the belt is in good condition.
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).
Yes, the 2008 Toyota Highlander with a V6 engine is equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and require less frequent replacement compared to timing belts. This design choice contributes to the vehicle's reliability and longevity.
To check the timing on a 1991 Honda Accord DX, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover; align the crankshaft mark to the specified timing degree (usually around 16 degrees BTDC) using a timing light. Connect the timing light to the number one cylinder's spark plug wire and start the engine. Observe the timing light's flash against the timing marks to see if adjustments are necessary.
To set the engine timing on a 1990 Honda CRX, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Remove the timing belt cover and locate the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys. Using a timing light, connect it to the number one cylinder spark plug wire, and start the engine. Adjust the distributor until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree mark on the timing scale, typically 16 degrees BTDC for this model.
To align the timing marks on a 1980 Honda Prelude 1.8, first, remove the timing belt cover to access the timing gears. Rotate the crankshaft using a socket and ratchet until the crankshaft's timing mark aligns with the "T" (top dead center) mark on the engine block. Ensure that the camshaft's timing mark is also aligned with its corresponding mark on the cylinder head. Once both marks are aligned, you can proceed with setting or replacing the timing belt as needed.
To set the timing on your 1984 Honda 200X three-wheeler, first, remove the timing inspection plug on the engine. Rotate the engine using the kickstarter until the "T" mark on the flywheel aligns with the index mark on the case. Next, check the position of the ignition timing plate; it should be positioned correctly to align with the stator pickup. Adjust the timing plate if necessary by loosening the bolts and rotating it until the desired timing is achieved, then re-tighten the bolts.
