Why Do Timing Chains Stretch?
As the timing chain wears, it can change the timing of the camshaft and crankshaft.
Understanding Engine Timing – Chains, Gears and Belts
Perfect timing is critical in the performance world, and now, it’s required by your regular customers too.
Plastic Timing Chain Guides
Timing chain guides are designed to wear, but the guides are designed to last the engine’s life.

Timing systems are durable but they still wear. This video is sponsored by INA, a Schaeffler brand.
All About Timing Chains
You’ve probably noticed that a chain rather than a belt drives the camshaft. Why is this the case?
The Importance of Clean, Quality Oil in Timing Chain Systems
Using the wrong oil is a common problem that causes a vehicle’s timing chain to wear even quicker.

Honda: iVTEC And Timing Chains
In this article, we’ll be taking a look at a 2003 four-cylinder Accord that came in with a check engine light complaint, but no reports of driveability issues. It was due for a New York state inspection, so it had to be repaired. The code was persistent, setting itself consistently on the second startup.
VIDEO: Preventing Timing Issues From Timing Chain Wear
Andrew Markel explains timing chain wear and how it can cause timing issues on the engine, as well as how to prevent this condition. Sponsored by Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper.
Timing Chain Stretch: It Could Be Neglected Oil Changes And The Wrong Oil
Timing chain stretch is not the stretching of the timing chain, it is an elongation of the timing chain caused by wear to the chain’s components. The most common cause of timing chain stretch is lack of maintenance and regular oil changes.
