Baligtad sir, mas low maintenance ang timing chain kesa timing belt...

o yeah.. sorry mga sir..

timing chains are used sa diesel para malakas humatak, mas tahimik... but the problem SA TIMING BELT is that is has a very low life span, and needs maintenance...

Hindi lang yun sir.... Sa tingin ko sir, kindly correct me if i'm wrong, if the timing-belt is ripped/pulled apart, and say you're overtaking, it's even dangerous ---- will put your car to a sudden stop. Could there be also a siezure? i don't know....

Chances of getting a chain-driven timing mechanism having the potentials to fail like a timing-belt could be low-to-nil.... again, i don't also know....

Look at where the timing mechanism is connected at the top of the engine, to the cams where the valves are also connected to feed fuel and air to the cylinders/pistons and run the whole system.

yes sir, once the timing belt is torn or broken or naputol... tendency is you have to overhaul your engine... mas malaking gastos na naman... kaya sa civic vtec ko dati... pinalitan ko when it reached 70,000kms nalang... hehehehe....

sa chain driven or gear driven system, very unlikely mangyari yun... i have seen fuegos or hilanders who have reached 300,000kms plus and hindi pa nabuksan ang engine or napalitan ng timing gear or chain....
