    How many miles you have on it? I thought timing chains are supposed to outlast most everything else related to powertrain.

    The chain is probably OK but I will change it anyway since it has to be opened up. The real issue is the secondary chain guide on the driver side that is worn through and now metal on metal. A known issue but usually a problem early in mileage with these motors. Mine has 195K miles on it so I have no complaints.

    Talent. Good looks. Motivation. Youth.

    If you find these things, please send them my way.




    However, I'd give up all of these things if our country could find its moral compass...

    You can mention my name because he buys his Honda parts from me. Worse case is he will just charge you double... :rolleyes:

    My new Gopro is recording amazing footage but Windows Movie maker can't handle it's uber hi-res awesoness, so the results are poor.

    Therefore, I am looking for a better video maker app for Windows. Any suggestions?
