FAQs
How do I know if my timing chain is bad?
Rattling, timing codes, rough running, or no start conditions can be signs.
Is a timing chain the same as a timing belt?
No. A chain is metal and internal, while a belt is usually rubber and has scheduled replacement intervals.
Can I drive with timing chain noise?
It’s risky. If the chain jumps timing, engine damage can occur.
