Honda OEM Timing Chain Guide 14520-5R0-003 – L15B Engines

Honda OEM Timing Chain Guide 14520-5R0-003

The Honda OEM timing chain guide 14520-5R0-003 is a genuine factory component used in L-series engines, such as L15B3 and L15B4. It ensures proper chain alignment, reduces friction and stabilizes valve timing for VTC and i-VTEC systems.

Applications – Engines and Models

• Honda HR-V 2016–2018 – L15B4
• Honda Jazz 2016–2020 – L15B3

The chain guide is a critical part of the timing system. Worn or damaged guides can lead to chain noise, unstable tension or incorrect VTC behaviour.

In L15B engines used in the Honda HR-V, workshops often replace the guide, tensioner and chain during a complete timing service. For this reason, many mechanics recommend the complete timing chain kit for the Honda HR-V, ensuring full compatibility with factory specifications and long-term system stability.

Why choose genuine Honda parts?

• exact OEM fit and specification
• high wear resistance and long service life
• optimal chain tracking and quiet operation
• designed to work with OEM tensioner and chain
• reliable performance across the entire RPM range
