About Timing Chain Kit

A timing chain kit is a selection of parts that link the movement between the engine crankshaft and camshaft. A basic timing chain kit will include the timing chains (metal links), camshaft and crankshaft sprockets, tensioners, guide rails, and necessary gaskets and seals.

This chain also controls the movement of the intake and exhaust valves in relation to the position of the crankshaft. The synchronized movement of these shafts completes the combustion cycle, producing the energy needed to propel the vehicle.

Replace Your Bad Timing Chain Kit On Time

The most common issue with timing chains is that they ‘stretch’ over time. What causes the chain to gain some slack are worn out pivot pins, sprockets, and guides that can cause the links to move apart. This is likely a result of waiting too long between oil changes or contamination due to a faulty oil filter.

Common symptoms of a bad timing chain include rattling engine noises, Check Engine Light is illuminated, and metal shavings in the oil pan.

Your vehicle’s timing chain should last anywhere between 80,000 to 100,000 miles. However, poor maintenance and oil contamination can cause the chain to stretch and wear out faster. Have your vehicle checked by a trusted mechanic as soon as you notice any of the symptoms above to prevent damaging the pistons and valves which can result in serious engine failure.
