The timing chain is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine, responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. Unlike a timing belt, the timing chain is made of metal and is designed to last much longer, often for the life of the engine. It operates in an oil bath, which helps reduce wear and tear. Regular maintenance is essential, as a worn or damaged timing chain can lead to engine failure and costly repairs. Signs of issues may include unusual noises from the engine or a check engine light. Keeping the timing chain in good condition ensures optimal engine performance and longevity.
