  • WHEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY TIMING CHAIN. HOW LONG TIMING CHAIN LASTS
    Many of you asked us how often timing chain needs to be replace and how long timing chains last. It really depends on the vehicle, make, and model. For instance some older model vehicles equipped with timing chain do not require timing chain replacement but since 2007 we have worked on so many cars with timing chain problems. Our last 2 vehicles that we worked on were Mazda CX7 and BMW that develop timing chain problem at only 87k miles. I prefer to replace my timing chains between 60k and 100k miles on every car we own. It really depends on the model. If you replace the timing chain always use the whole kit.

    Timing chains do stretch as well as tensioner weaken .
    The big giveaway before total failure is engine oil leaking from crank shaft pulley . If you are replacing the pulley and when you loosen the pulley bolt and oil squirts out , you have a timing chain and gear problem . The gear will slap around a damage the woodruff key and the crankshaft key way that is allowing oil to leak out under pressure.

    More likely the engine service intervals (oil change and filter) will affect the timing chain and tensioner more than anything else. Find out how often the vehicles are serviced before blaming the chain. They rely on clean quality oil to operate to maximum efficiency and lifespan.

    If you have to change the timing chain at 60 K miles, then its life span is no different from that of a timing belt. Which means there is absolutely no advantage in having a timing chain over a timing belt.

    change the oil more often and chains will last longer.. on my Opel I went 340.000km with first chain and tensioner..then I only replaced it because the head was broken... it showed no visible wear, chain was as new and would have lastes a lot longer.. chains also only little wear..two other cars in the family with over 200.000km and first chain

    I'm having to replace the timing chain at 294k miles and it may have only bee changed once before by previous owners. That's impressive, but also indicates good oil maintenance.

  • @KyprosEc
    @KyprosEc 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This is too funny.
    If you choose to wait for your engine light to tell you when to change your oil and you have a heavy foot you might have to change your chain in 40,000 miles.
    I have a 2012 Honda Civic and have always changed the oil at 8000 kms which is usually 60% oil life left. I could get 16 to 18k before changing oil but I'm not stupid enough to do that to my car. 350,000 kms later 0 problems with the chain.

    Do you have any idea what the km limit is when the timing chain needs to be changed for Toyota Avansis 2.0 petrol?
    I want to buy one that has 170,000 km.
    Do you think it will take you at least 50,000km?

    Very Uneducated... these vehicles do not have lifters... these are Cam Buckets that are shimmed. The noise you hear is more than likely the Intake Cam Phaser. Also keep in mind these vehicles are Direct injected which you failed to mention. The fuel rail and injectors are pressurized up to 2000 psi. Did you check to see the if the injector seals. This motor is a mess and I’m sure you may mean well but educate yourself. And if you notice the oil leak more than likely is from the timing cover seeping closer to the alternator not the crank seal.
    Your video is very misleading for anyone searching TH-cam for help on this motor.
