Is timing chain/water pump wear something a repair shop can recognize? After we had the Odyssey’s timing chain/water pump replaced at 130,000 miles, I discovered a receipt showing we already had this done at 111,000 miles.

I’ve been informed the 2009 Odyssey has a timing CHAIN. From the comments I’ve received, it looks as if my usually impeccable record keeping failed me big time on this one! I do appreciate your comments, George_San_Jose1!
