With one type the engine blows up if the belt breaks. The other type the engine just stops with no damage.
Why the manufacturers make these different types of belts and chains is beyond me.

Larson Automotive at Moultonborough Airport comes highly recommended for automotive repairs. Located:

22 Airport Rd
Moultonborough, NH 03254

Phone number is in the book.
Yeah but what your talking about is the engine itself you can't "make" it one or the other by changing belt types. Don't quote me but I think the Honda's use both belts and chains depending on whether it's a 4 or 6 cylinder.
