Your vehicle either has a timing chain or a timing belt that helps ensure the engine operates as it should. Essentially, whether the former or the latter is installed, it synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that the engine valves open and close at the proper times. However, like other components, when either starts to stretch, wear, or fail, it can cause major engine performance problems—or even catastrophic engine damage.

Normal wear, a lack of adequate oil maintenance, or manufacturer-specific issues can all lead to the failure of the chain and its accompanying components.
