The timing chain is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine, ensuring the synchronization of the crankshaft and camshaft. Unlike a timing belt, a timing chain is made of metal and is more durable, often lasting the lifetime of the engine. Its primary function is to keep the engine’s valves opening and closing at the correct times, which is essential for optimal performance. Regular maintenance is necessary to prevent wear and tear, which can lead to costly repairs. If a timing chain fails, it can cause severe engine damage, highlighting the importance of timely inspections and maintenance.
