Here’s what the water pump looks like. http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNI-SELECT-PRO-SERIES-PWP9313-Water-Pump-/200925852767?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2007%7CMake%3AHonda%7CModel%3AAccord&hash=item2ec81d345f&vxp=mtr
This is just an example because I would use Honda parts. The pump is very similar to ones ive seen in belt driven systems.
In my opinion it depends on how much you drive. I drive 25,000-35,000 miles a year and would personally replace the chains, waterpump, etc before 225k. I can’t afford a catastrophic failure or breakdown. How could replacing this be any more complicated than a head gasket, clutch, exhaust valves, or having to replace the engine block because it cracked?
I live in the upper midwest, and I have personally quite a few 2.4 liter motors with 350,000 + miles with great care taken in maintenance. My girlfriend’s friend just fried her 2.4 accord with 99,000 miles because she didnt know she was supposed to change the oil or check it 🙁 🙁
Good luck. I am sure you’ll have good luck with your Accord.

As an owner of a 2008 CRV and 2007 Accord with the same set up, I’ve wondered the same thing. You could 1, wait until your car overheats from worn down water pump fins, you hear a bearing go, or coolant starts leaking. 2, you could do a standard water pump replacement, new timing chain, and cam shaft seals. with #2 option I am sure you will get many more miles of happiness.
CRV: 104,000 miles; Accord 138,000 miles.

Something to look into. I bought the car used from a Honda dealer and they said they changed it last year.

Did you check your heat shields? I had an Accord and a Civic that constantly rattled because the heat shields were loose. They rattled intermittently. Also check your engine mounts.

Must have a timing chain because my aunt has over 200,000 miles on her 2006 LX manual transmission. I think it’s the serpentine tensioner.
