2004 Honda Civic LX 4 cyl Timing belt/Chain
Does the 2004 Civic LX 4 cyl have a timing belt or chain, and which damages the valves when it goes out?

It uses a belt and is an interference type motor.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC interference = you're ****ered if the belt goes while you're running it.
