They don't. Eventually they go through enough wear and tear to get a bit of play in them, enough to skew cam timing a couple degrees. They last a hell of a lot longer than belts do though, and I haven't heard of any breaking yet.
Nothing is maintenance-free my friend.

Is it like a bicycle chain? Where can I find it? I'm just so clueless from doing S2000 motor swaps, you Prelude owners gotta help me out.

Behind an aluminum timing cover sealed in place with Hondabond for one thing. It would be significantly more time consuming to replace vs. a belt.

Re: Recommended Timing Chain Mileage? (Y2K_S2K)
Man I took off my valve cover and I saw nothing BUT pulleys n spinning thingies. Was I supposed to turn off my motor first though? Oil splatter burns...
^^ Exactly, except things were spinning and flying and slinging all kinds of cool ****.
P.S. Misinformation = haha
