July 24th, 2008 07:32 PM #1Just a survey. What is better, time belt or time chain? They said that time chain is noisier but it could last as long as the engine could run. Time belt is quieter but there's a possibility that it could snap if not checked. Please voice out your opinions. Thanks!

durability wise, no question. timing chains. but it could also snap, pero the probability is too low.

A timing belt is made of rubber and may be reinforced with braided steel. A timing chain is made of metal.
On most vehicles (not all) if the timing belt (or chain) breaks while the engine is running, it can cause internal damage to the valves (and of course your engine will no longer run). It is best to replace the belt as per instructions, either by age or mileage whichever comes first.
Rubber (even synthetic rubber) breaks down with age, which is why it is recommended to be changed at 8 years.
When changing the timing belt change the cam seals also. If does not make sense to change them later especially when you're in the same vicinity

Para sakin mas maganda kung chain kase mas tumatagal. Basta well lubricated lagi. Yung belt naman hassle kase kailangan pa palitan after you reach a certain milage. Pag minamalas ka pa at interference ang engine mo, pag naputol yan habang tumatakbo yung makina siguradong malaking gastos. Pero kung non interference like most toyotas ok lang kase belt lang masisira.
