Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. If worn to a point that the timing chain skips a tooth this causes a misfire in the engine, if the timing chain skips multiple teeth this could render the engine inoperative and in some cases destroy the engine in an interference engine.

Yes, the teeth on the sprockets will be worn to match the old chain stretch.

The chain rides along a guide rail and has a tensioner that keeps it on the sprocket teeth, when replacing the chain all components should be replaced to help ensure proper tension and alignment of chain.
