Does the 2007 Honda CR-V have a timing belt or chain?

The 2007 Honda CR-V is equipped with a timing chain that shouldn't need to be replaced at regular intervals like a belt would. However, there are times when a chain does need to be replaced. This repair work is expensive, but the engine damage that can be caused by a broken chain is severe. A timing chain is comprised of many small links. It moves around other components and sometimes, friction can cause small pieces to break away. This might be noticeable by a rattling noise in the engine compartment or shavings found in the oil during an oil change. Always address a potential issue with a chain immediately before it has a chance to worsen and do more damage. This is very labor-intensive repair work generally best left to a professional.
