The timing chain is an important component of your car. It links the camshaft and crankshaft of your car’s engine and synchronises their functioning. The lower and upper portions of the car engine perform different functions and they need to work in perfect unison for the engine’s smooth functioning.
The timing chain is made of metal, unlike the timing belt, which is made from rubber. Your car’s timing chain is built to last and is not a regular maintenance item that has to be changed after a specific time. However, friction, rough terrain or malfunction in other parts may affect the timing chain’s strength and performance. In such cases, a timing chain replacement by professional and skilled timing chain mechanics.
Importance of Timing Chain and Camshaft Gear Replacement
The timing chain is built to last for the entire life of the car. However, it may malfunction due to wear and tear and lack of lubrication which may cause it to work erratically or fail. Along with the camshaft timing gear, they are critical components in a car’s operation. Any issues with the timing chain or camshaft timing gear can lead to the engine not starting, misfiring or poor performance.
If the timing chain fails while the engine is still running, it may cause irreparable loss to the pistons, valves and the engine as a whole. This can lead to engine seizure and failure and may require engine overhaul or engine replacement. You will then need to get your car checked and get a professional timing chain repair or Camshaft gear replacement, as the case may be.
