Are you arguing with yourself or what?
You keep going back and forth about your points.
The Book/manual for a 2001 Honda Civic Ex coupe 5 speed MT (US)
says (and yes i am looking at the correct part) that it is RECOMMENDED that that timing BELT
be changed 60,000 miles OR 100,000K
As you said, timing CHAINS are made to last longer than a timing belt would
I do believe older models of civics had a chain at one time
but for the 2001 EX I am 100% positive that it is a BELT and not a chain

Point 1: the 60k mi service interval sounded short. I found a honda dealership whose service interval was longer (90k mi for pre-96 and 105k for 97+)
Point 2: the 150k service interval for timing chains is irrelevant, because timing chains are so different from timing belts
In any event, Bill1966 should change his timing belt.
