There is not timing belt. The timing chain is not a maintenance item, so unless you’re having issues with the vehicle I would leave it alone and keep up with regular oil changes.

 

Just bought 2014 CRV with 110,000 miles with jumped timing due to stretched timing chain, you decide.

 

Obviously the vehicle was not properly maintained. Timing chains are not regular maintenance items. If the previous owner ran the engine low on oil for extended periods of time then that’s your cause.

 

For your own peace of mind, might consider finding an independent mechanic / garage that is accustomed to working on Hondas. Spend the money & have them do a thorough inspection of the engine, including the condition of the timing chain.

If not the original owner, might also think of replacing all the fluids so that you have a baseline from which to program all future maintenance. Motor oil & brake fluid can be generic brands so long as they meet Honda specifications. Transmission & rear differential fluids should be Honda-branded fluids as these have specific additive packages unique to Honda.

Just got the timing cover off after using the heavy wall socket, then there was the stuck pivot bolt where I had to bump it a few times with a hammer and chisel. waiting or part to reassemble. Hoping the valves didn't tap the piston. then compression check and finally if the valves hit the piston I would think the clearance on the valves tappet would increase because the valve doesn't close all the way.
