I wouldn't go that far. Just cause chains are less likely to break, they still stretch and tensioner/guides may need to be replaced. Plus, replacing a chain/guide/tensioner is usually more costly than a timing belt, although with a lot longer interval.
Ideally, waterpumps would driven by the acc belt and the cam(s) would be gear driven.
some of those poly tensioners and guides are fcking garbage! wear out and fall apart

would your friend take dogecoins? Posted via RS Mobile
maybe Bitcoins!
for those interested in buying the car, she's going to snap some pictures tomorrow. She said it was "on the gurney" when she went by the shop today so she couldn't take any.
I still don't know what's wrong with it. She says it turns over but blows smoke and dies. I so want her to get it looked at properly/fixed or motor swapped (if even necessary) but she's adamant of not spending any $ and just getting rid of it as is and getting a Benz. I think someone is about to get a wicked deal on either a quick fix or motor swap!
it sounds real suspicious that a "regularly maintained" honda motor would die at 125k km. either she's being lied to or your friend (who clearly knows shit all about cars) really gave it "lady driven" maintenance (see zero maintenance).

actually she has all the receipts for the maintenance she's had done over its lifetime.

i wouldn't take anything under $1500
it's a low milage shell...not one with 250k or serious collision
k20a3 is what $500-700? full k20a2 swap is $3k with labour
Just because she has receipts for maintenance doesn't mean all the required maintenance was done, or done on time.

It sounds like these guys are about as clueless as the mechanic the PO of my car had (maybe they're the same ones, is the car in PoCo?). They told him it needed either piston rings, a headgasket, or a clutch. I bought it and checked it out and you know what it needed? Fucking spark plugs and wires. Get another opinion because if they can't tell these three problems apart very quickly they're useless mechanics.

What colour/smell of smoke? Since she seems too dense to actually FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG before bailing on the car, you should buy it from her and properly diagnose it. If the motor does end up being toast do a quick swap and sell it.

Its like winning the lottery when you find cars where the PO thinks the worst and the fix is simple. My friend bought his 2001 pathfinder for 2500 bucks and all it needed was 1 coil pack. As soon as I saw the car I knew the problem right away, I told the owner and he was dead set it was a bigger problem. Posted via RS Mobile
