All trim levels of the 2014 Honda CR-V use the same 2.4L 4Cylinder engine, which is driven by a timing chain. Though there are advantages and disadvantages to this, most automotive experts agree that it's better to have a chain. The big reason is that You can typically expect timing chains to last for around 250,000 to 300,000 miles -- barring extenuating circumstances of failure. Contrast

So usually around 60,000 miles for the gen 3 and I think 60,000-90,000 on the gen 4. If you aint rubbin you aint dubbin' (volkswagen):thumbsup: Save Share. Cam belts vs cam chains. The main difference between a cam or timing belt and a timing chain is the material. Unlike cam belts, timing chains are made of metal. Timing chains are housed inside the engine and are lubricated by the engine oil, while cam belts are usually located outside the engine. But some manufacturers are now using “wetThe types of V-belts and their standard sizes: There are three common V belt types: Classical V-belt (classified by their dimensions from A to E), Narrow V series (ranked by their sizes 3V, 5V, and 8V), and light-duty Fractional Horsepower belt (classified by their dimensions 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L). The letter X classifies their counterpart cogged belt.
V-belts come in. V-belts are commonly used in industrial applications because of their relative low cost, ease of installation, and wide range of sizes (Fig. 2). The V-shape makes it easier to keep fast-moving belts in sheave grooves than it is to keep a flat belt on a pulley. The biggest operational advantage of a V-belt is the wedging actionBelt-in-oil manufacturers claim that “wet belts” offer up to a 30 percent reduction in friction loss as compared to chains or dry belts. This reduces emissions and can increase fuel economy by a little more than 1 percent. Due to the improved materials used in the BIO drives, these belts are more temperature-resistant, less prone to
