Chain or belt?
Is there a chain or belt in the 06 tsx? In the service manual there is mention of a chain tensioner, but from the diagram it looks like a belt. I saw no mention of mileage replacement.

Has anyone else noticed how the chain "sings" on a cold morning? I freakin LOVE that sound. It isn't as distinct as a Porsche Boxter or 996, but it's unmistakable... at least until the engine warms up.
