Hydraulic lifters and timing chain?

Do the 2009's have hydraulic lifters and a timing chain (as opposed to a timing belt)?

The maintenance "journal" implies the lifters are not hydraulic because it says valve adjustments are needed (if they get noisy). However, Car & Driver (Jul 2008 issue) says the valves are hydraulic and I have not been able to find anything else that states either way.

Thanks

The Honda 2.4 has always had a timing chain.

The valves have never had hydraulic lash adjustment. They need to be adjusted every 110k (or so). The valve adjustment is a fairly easy task and costs about $175 at the dealership.
