<\/p>\nThe engine timing design is an intricate system that has been developed over the years. The precise and exact designs of all engine timing components are essential to the safety and performance of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For a vehicle to be fully efficient the engine timing system must synchronize with the components surrounding it. There must be maximum precision of the movement at all speeds and load ranges. Due consideration must be given to the driving comfort, fuel consumption and emission values.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With increased rates of compression in the combustion chamber, high pressure injection systems and higher torque increase the stress to which engine components are exposed to. The timing chain controls the timing of the vehicle’s engine valves, by connecting the crankshaft to the camshaft, which in turn controls the opening and closing of the piston valves in order for combustion to occur.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In modern engines all the components that are directly involved in the timing process have to be checked in addition to the timing chain. It is crucial that the timing chain is replaced at regular intervals as recommended by the manufacturer. When fitting a timing chain it is strongly recommended to replace these related components, this will ensure the chain will work correctly its entire service life.<\/p>\n

There can be severe consequences from the effects of a worn or broken timing chain. A malfunctioning timing chain could potentially damage inlet and exhaust valves, which will reduce power and even cause complete engine failure. If the chain completely breaks, the crankshaft will not connect to the camshaft, therefore the camshaft will no longer open and close the valves, and consequently the engine will not function. Also the other components surrounding the timing chain if worn or damaged can also affect the efficiency of the overall engine timing system.<\/p>\n
