people tell me that its cheaper to replace the motor then to fix the jumped timing problem is that true. I am having a hard time to find another 2.4 for the car.Not sure what to do, does any one have any answers and a price to do a timing job on the 2.4.thanks for the reply

 

This is a difficult question to answer without know what if any damage was done to the engine. If the head is fine and the chain did not crack anything when it jumped then you're would be looking at a minimum of replacing the chain, chain guides and chain tensioner. The last time that I did one of these the parts and labor ran around $1,400. That was with Honda parts. That being said it depends on where you live and what the parts and labor go for in your area. Needless to say, if there is no damage then it is cheaper to replace the chain, tensioner and guides. That is just my shop advice.

 

Labor will be expensive to replace the timing chain. What happened to the chain? How may teeth did the timing jump?
