The timing chain is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine, serving to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. Unlike timing belts, timing chains are made of metal and are designed to last the lifetime of the engine, offering greater durability and reliability. They operate in an oil bath, which reduces friction and wear. Regular maintenance is essential, as a worn or stretched timing chain can lead to serious engine damage. Signs of a failing timing chain include unusual noises, poor engine performance, and the illumination of the check engine light. Timely replacement ensures optimal engine function.
