Yep. The belt went out with the B20 engine, whose last year was 2001. Your
K24 has a chain.

Unlike the old-style chains of yore, the CR-V's chain has a really long,
slinkily curved tensioner that won't wear down like the old tiny "shoe"
tensioners did.

Change your oil according to the schedule in the Owner's Manual and the
chain will last the life of the engine.
