1999 Civic LX D16Y7 timing belt.
I just turned 100K on my 1999 LX with the original timing belt, or chain. I was going to change it, but then the dealership told me that it was a timing chain and that 99's don't use timing belts anymore.
Well, I popped the timing belt cover and that "chain" looks pretty rubbery to me, so I want to replace it. I also know that 96-00 Civics were the same generation, so why the crap would they change the belt in the middle of nowhere? Also, I don't ever recall Civics using timing chains until just now, like 06 Civics.
Tell me if I'm right or wrong, I don't know about dealers anymore. Thanks.

good heavens. wonder what about are you. dont want to get close to that dealership (just kidding).
guess it was a service writer. maybe just a newby.
but, i did not know that an 06 has a chain. that does not make sense. they went to belts because the long run of the overhead cam was too long for a chain. but then, i am not too much up on the new tech.
bout the max i would run on a timing belt. found this last night (see my post):
