A timing chain is wider, runs straight and most importantly is properly lubricated. Also a timing belt lasts 100,000 miles and runs a lot faster than a bicyle

- protomyth 10y agoYou might want to rethink that 100,000 miles. I've noticed a lot of car manufactures (e.g. Kia) that recommend a change at 60,000. I would not ignore that recommendation.
- inferiorhuman 10y agoTiming bits are considered emissions equipment. In California (and states that follow California requirements) this means a 150,000 mile warranty. Most manufacturers will thus specify a change interval that avoids warranty service. Some, like Mazda in the 90s, will use the same belt rated for 49-state compliant intervals and simply bump up the interval.
