I didn't know a timing chain needed replacing. Belts, yes.
Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is. After the game is over, the king and the pawn go into the same box.

listening in, I think my 2004 Element is the same engine. Mine has 84,000 on it. I have heard they are pretty long-lived.

It should be a 2.4L with a timing chain, the same engine as an Accord and also the 150hp Honda outboard. It’s an overhead cam, it doesn’t have lifters. You’d be best advised to change oil on schedule and drive it, they’re pretty much bulletproof.

The valve lash specs are on the sticker under the hood.
