I’m getting my BIL’s 06 TSX with a K24A2 motor and the 6-sp,
its got 115K on it - what do I need to do maintenance wise?
timing belt? chain? is it an interference engine?
I know nothing about these, besides what wiki told me below… please advise,

if this should be in the tech section, sorry-

All k series have timing chains. They’re pretty much bullet proof.

Just follow the honda scheduled maintnence

I’m sure if the vehicle is done right and not cut corners, I don’t think he would pass up a paying customer.
