Do Timing Chains Need to Be Replaced?
Timing chains are often portrayed as indestructible alternatives to timing belts, believed to last the duration of the vehicle’s expected lifetime. In truth, timing chains are intended to last 80-120 thousand miles. The lifespan of a timing chain will vary greatly depending on how it is maintained, as well as other vehicle maintenance, such as regular oil changes.
Improving the Lifespan of Your Timing Chain
Regular maintenance is imperative for a long-lasting timing chain. The easiest way to maintain a timing chain is through regular oil changes. This helps optimize lubrication while maintaining the needed tension to prevent stretching and slipping. Dirty or worn oil may cause the timing chain to lag, which may lead to misfires or stretching. Maintaining the chain itself typically involves adjusting any stretching or slipping in order to maximize performance and prevent further damage.
How to Know Your Timing Chain Needs Attention
A new timing chain is often an extensive endeavor, requiring a full removal of the engine in order to gain access. Maintaining the timing chain is important so the lifespan can be extended as long as possible. Here are a few symptoms that may indicate your timing chain needs maintenance or replacement:
The vehicle hesitates during acceleration
The vehicle misfires
Metal shavings are found in the oil during oil changes
Rattling sounds emit from the car engine
