Timing Chains

A timing chain is a crucial component in your car's engine that synchronises the opening and closing of engine valves with the movement of pistons, ensuring precise timing for the combustion process. Unlike timing belts, timing chains are typically more durable and long-lasting, but they can still wear over time, leading to issues like engine noise and reduced performance. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the timing chain are essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently.

Signs Your Timing Chain Needs Attention

1. Engine noise: A rattling noise from the engine is often an early sign of timing chain wear. If you hear unusual sounds under the hood, don't ignore them.
2. Check engine light: The check engine light can illuminate for various reasons, including timing chain issues. We have the diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem accurately.
3. Engine failures of misfires: If your car won't start your engine's timing chain may have broken. This can sometimes cause a lot of damage to the engine. If your engine is misfiring, it may be due to a stretched timing chain that causes the car to skip a gear on either the crankshaft or camshaft. Eventually the chain will break.
