In other words, the power of an OHC configured engine is better than the OHV configured engine. OHV means the top valve and OHC means the shaft configuration of the cylinder head camera. OHV is a more compact but less efficient design, while the output power is greater than an OHC.

Some Honda engines are synchronous belts and others are chains. You need to know who has them. One belt will have to be changed at regular intervals (usually 90-120 miles) while a chain is generally good for motor life and does not need maintenance.

With a forged crank, the forging process creates an intertwined grain structure. With a ticket crank, the grain structure simply works parallel to the crank. The input is a better option if you need a unique custom crank because it does not require expensive tool equipment.

Under normal conditions, the engine must have a constant and smooth sound that indicates that everything is working. However, when the timing chain is loose, it can cause a vibration inside the engine and that produces a strip sound while the engine moves.

Fortunately, there is a practical guide. If your Honda Accord date from 1997 to 2002, it has a time belt. If you have a 4 cylinder model from 2003 to 2007, your engine has a time chain if you have the V6 model these years, it is a time belt.
