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 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.

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.
Chain is using on Model 2011
2004
yes
Sounds like the timing chain adjuster is worn out. It is actuated by oil pressure. Was it replaced with the timing chain?
they are all using timing chains now.
On the 2.7 eng. it is behind the timing chain plate in the very front of the engine. It is also run using the timing chain.
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.
