No need to replace it when you reaches certain kms. Unlike pag belt

Ang maganda lang sa timing chain hindi basta agad napuputol at iingay lang ito na binibigyan ka ng warning kung papalitan mo ito lalo na pag sa umaga pag start mo ng makina at mawawala rin ito pag umakyat na langis sa makina . Sa timing belt pag ang ugali mo gamit lang ng gamit ng sasakyan hindi bagay ito sa iyo pag naputulan ka ng belt malaking gastos . Pag naputulan ka ng belt siguradong ihihinto ka nito at pag pinilit mong start makina maaring mabaluktot ang valves nito.

Yap, less headache at less maintenance ang timing chain vs. timing belt, kapag nakaligtaan mo PMS ng timing belt at biglang naputol, yari na....baka isang karton ng gamot sa sakit ng ulo di pa sapat sa laki ng magagastos...

luckily, timing chain na yung Forte ko....

most new engines naman ay t.chain na na may auto tensioner....so when buying new car with modern engine, chain na yan. remember kung used--dapat oil-free ang t.belt--kung di dudulas yan at mabubungi..

for me. it does not matter. pareho lang din sila for replacement for a certain peroid of time. marunong ka lang mag magmaintain ng car ka.

tahimik ang tunod ng engine pag belt and mas matagal ang lifespan...

yup, hindi for life ang chain, dapat din palitan specially pag maingay na... my sentra series 2 (B13) ay chain, up to now di ko pa napapalitan but the last time i checked it medyo maluwag na unlike before...

OT: buti di na ibinalik yung timing gear na pibra like sa mga old model corona, mas mahirap ma detect kung bibigay na o ok pa lalo na kung second hand nabili yung car...
