Let me quote a "Warning" from my Honda Accord maintained book.

Severe engine damage will occur if the timing belt should break.
Honda uses an "interference" engine design. If the timing belt
breaks, the valves will contact the pistons and likely become damaged.

I had my Passport in the shop today, Passports are badge engineered
Isuzu, I was told that the book says it's time to change the timing
belt, then I was asked is it 4 or 6 cylinder? I said 6. I was told
that the 6 is not an "interference" engine so we can let it slide.

There is a time to gamble and a time not to gamble.
