timing belt or timing chain?

[alwayz_yummy]

vie > bilhin mo US-brand, particularly GATES! OEM-replacement.. every 60thou or 3-4 years ang palitan nyan...

sa liteace ko contitech brand(germany) 800 pesos (isa sa pinakamahabang t-belt ang nasa 2C ng liteace ko!

siguro lower yan... sa price ng t-belt ko, SOHC naman yang makina na yan,e... 1000+ ang orginal part

PS: kung tbelt na makina mo wala ka na po magagawa para gawing tchain/tgear pa yan unless palitan mo ang buong makina mo!

does a '92 sentra JX model also uses Timing Chain?

yes. LEC, 1.4 JX, EX Saloon, Super Saloon Sentras all use timing chain

guys, pasingit lang, ano ba pinagka iba ng timing belt at timing chain? which is better? papalitan ko narin kasi timing belt ng auto ko, (mistu galant SS 4g63 Matic 96) mga magkano po ba yung original nun? Sabi sakin nung mekaniko, mas maganda daw kung made in Japan bibilhin ko, tama ba? thanks uli!

They both have the same purpose and use. AY is correct that you can not change from tbelt to chain and viceversa without replacing the engine.

Chain is long lasting. No need to replace unless it starts to become noisy. If your lucky it will last the life of the engine. Drawback is its noisier than belts.

Timing belts are replaced at around 80,000 kms. Change your water pump at the same time. Some people change earlier as preventive maintenance. Cause if it breaks your engine and wallet are in for a world of hurt. Its quieter than chain.
