Why Timing Chain Replacement Is Important

The timing chain is a crucial part of your engine, ensuring that the camshaft and crankshaft rotate in perfect synchronization. Unlike a timing belt, a timing chain is designed to last the lifetime of the engine—but over time, it can stretch, wear, or even snap, leading to serious engine damage.

At Andrews Car Centre in Lincoln, we specialize in timing chain diagnostics, repairs, and replacements, ensuring your vehicle remains in top condition.

Signs Your Timing Chain Needs Replacing

• Rattling or Ticking Noise from the Engine – A stretched timing chain can cause excessive noise, especially during startup.
• Engine Misfires or Loss of Power – Incorrect timing due to chain wear can lead to rough running and performance issues.
• Check Engine Light – Many modern vehicles have sensors that detect timing chain problems.
• Metal Shavings in the Oil – A worn-out chain can release small metal fragments into the oil, causing further engine damage.
• Timing Chain Slippage – A stretched chain can jump a tooth on the sprockets, leading to incorrect valve timing.
• Engine Won’t Start – If the timing chain fails completely, the engine may not start at all.

If you notice any of these warning signs, book a timing chain inspection immediately to avoid costly engine repairs.
