Learn More About Timing chain/belt

The timing belt or chain is the heavy-duty link that transfers rotational energy from the crankshaft to the camshaft. While belts are quieter and require periodic replacement, chains are generally designed for longevity but rely heavily on clean oil. Both components are critical for engine operation; a snap or slip can lead to immediate engine stalling and severe mechanical failure.
