so im looking for the timing chain for my 2008 honda civic SE, it is a canadian car. it is close to 100k i was wondering, when should these timing chain be replaced, also i am looking for the parts but it keeps trying to correct me by thinking im saying SI...is there anything similar? like LX model...it is a Automatic...thank you!!

 

Use the EX model trim for your queries.

Majestic says the chain Mfg part number is 14401-RNA-A01...cost in USD is $117.05.

 

Might not be the chain, could've the tensioners...

14510-RNA-A01...USD$32.43 each, x2 same number left and right...

 

The timing chain does not require replacement under normal conditions. Only if the timing chain was stretched or worn, etc. (which was usually due to low oil levels, infrequent oil changes, oil pressure, etc.) would the timing chain require replacement.

 

agreed with tech8 on this one!

under normal conditions you don't need to replace the chain.
