What a Camshaft Chain Does—and Why It Matters

[emmyjohn]

The camshaft chain plays a crucial role in your engine's timing system, ensuring the camshaft and crankshaft move in sync. This synchronization is what allows your engine's valves to open and close at just the right time. If the camshaft chain becomes loose or worn, it can throw off the timing, reduce engine performance, and even cause internal damage. Replacing it with a durable, properly fitted chain is essential for maintaining the heart of your engine.
