Is Honda engine an interference engine?

The majority of Honda engines are non-interference engines, meaning that if the timing belt or chain breaks or slips, the valves will not come into contact with the pistons and cause major engine damage. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule, so it is always best to consult the owner's manual of your specific vehicle to determine whether or not it has an interference engine.

Some of the Honda models with interference engines include:

* Honda Accord

* Honda CR-V

* Honda Civic

* Honda Odyssey

* Honda Pilot

* Honda Ridgeline

* Honda S2000

* Honda Insight

If you have a Honda vehicle with an interference engine, it is important to replace the timing belt or chain at the recommended intervals specified in your owner's manual. Failure to do so could result in a catastrophic engine failure.
