I have an '03 6MT with 95,000 miles on it. Bought the car a year ago, and I have no service records before that. The manual says that the timing chain needs to be inspected every so often and when I took it to the mechanic, he said 'oh you dont have to worry about that ever'. Is this true? has anyone had any issues with theirs? Or am I just confused because the timing belt on other cars need to be changed out and stuff
i know its a common problem on higher hp rsx's to have the tensioner go bad. i think the chain itself in the vq would be fine, id look at the tensioner
I replaced the chains and guides for every build. The guides are the only thing that ever showed wear, especially on higher milage or oil burner donor blocks.
