The timing chain synchronizes the rotation of the engine’s camshaft and crankshaft, 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 designed to last longer but can still wear out or become stretched over time, leading to engine timing issues and potential engine damage. Regularly inspect the timing chain for signs of wear, such as unusual noises (rattling or ticking), reduced engine performance, or difficulty starting the vehicle. If any issues are detected, have the timing chain inspected and replaced by a professional according to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule, typically every 100,000 to 200,000 miles. Maintaining a healthy timing chain ensures accurate engine timing, enhances performance, and prevents costly engine repairs.
