The timing chain is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine, ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. Unlike timing belts, timing chains are made of metal and are generally more durable, often lasting the lifetime of the engine. However, they can still wear out or stretch over time, leading to potential engine timing issues. Regular maintenance and timely replacement are essential to prevent costly engine damage. In modern vehicles, timing chains are increasingly common due to their reliability and efficiency in maintaining engine performance.
