Hello everyone.

The first generation of the TSX from 2004 to 2008 had a timing chain. Does the second generation have a timing chain or timing belt?

Also, does it have the same K24 motor as the first generation TSX?

timing chain FTW

All K series have timing chains. Thats one of the reasons they are stronger than the old B series motors.

Not sure why Honda has not gone to a chain for the V6s. Any thoughts?

Which ones? I think Indycars all have timing chains with the boosted V6s and naturally aspirated V8s. Could be wrong, but for about Mil per motor you think they would for sure be timing chains.

Not Indycars breaux.
