Accord Tourer cam belt or chain?

[tunstall]

Hi - I've recently acquired (two weeks ago) a 2005 Accord Tourer with 89,000 miles on the clock. This replaces the Civic Aerodeck that I had. My question - does the Accord have a cam belt or a chain? The seller told me a chain but for peace of mind I want to be certain. If it is a chain does it require changing at some point?

Yes this is a chain cam engine, not much maintenance if looked after well, i would do regular oil changes with oil filter every 5,000 running 5w30 or 0w30 also once the tensioner for timing chain has gone past limit it should be replaced, however as said if you look after well you will get thousands before any major issues.
