Keep your engine "in time"
The timing chain is responsible for keeping everything moving in the correct pace inside your engine. While timing chains can last the lifetime of the car, it is possible for timing chains to stretch or wear causing timing issues and possible engine damage.
Engine Timing Chain
An engine timing chain is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshafts. It ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes, maintaining optimal engine performance. Timing chains are typically made of metal and are designed to last for the life of the engine, though they can wear out or become damaged over time. Damaged or stretched chains can impact the timing on an engine and overwork the tensioner, failures in this system can cause catastrophic engine failure and costly repairs.
Engine Timing Chain Failure Symptoms
Noise: A common symptom of a failing timing chain is a rattling or slapping noise coming from the engine, especially during start-up or acceleration. This noise may be more pronounced at idle or start-up
Poor Engine Performance: If the timing chain is stretched, it can lead to decreased power, acceleration problems, or sluggish performance.
