yes, Hondas, few times I worked on the heads (bend valves)' subleted to the machine shop for valve job.
The noise timing chains in SOHC or DOHC engines are expensive repairs than the OHV engines. The common noises are locating in the right bank sides(passenger side) of the V6 or V8 engines (V10?). The loose chains look like 10 speed bicycle when you pedal and notice loose chain on the bottom than upper chain same as the SOHC or DOHC engines.
My last timing chain job was a 1998 Infiniti Q45 w 4.1L DOHC V8 in 2002 at Chevron station for noise chain in right bank side. Fix chain was involved the entired engine/tranny removal by lift the car and drop the engine/tranny. cylinder heads needed to removal to access the chains and guides/tensioners. It took 20 hours labor. The price tag for chain job was $4k. Customer's mechanical insurance took a care of it. $4k lot of money, I made good money sheesh. This chain job is not for a novice mechanic even a Saturday mechanic.
