Unlike timing belts, timing chains are designed to last longer—typically the life of the engine. However, they can wear out or become faulty between 80,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on driving habits and maintenance. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
Ignoring a faulty timing chain can lead to catastrophic engine damage. If the chain snaps while driving, it can cause the pistons and valves to collide, resulting in a costly repair or complete engine replacement.
The timing chain is a crucial engine component that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring the engine’s valves open and close at the correct times. If the timing chain fails, it can cause severe engine damage.
