The timing chain is a crucial component for the proper functioning of the engine as it connects and keeps synchronised the crankshaft with the camshafts, which in turn is responsible for the movement of the valves and pistons. If the chain breaks, it causes misalignment of the two camshafts, leading to the breakage of the connecting rods, pistons, and valves, resulting in often irreparable damage.

The general rule to determine when to change the chain is to replace it within a mileage range of 62,000 to 112,000 miles, or after 5 to 6 years of use. Always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for guidance.
