Timing Chain Replacement in Rome, NY - Gattari's Automotive Sales & Service

Your car's engine relies on precise timing between the valves and pistons for optimal performance, and it wouldn’t be possible without the timing chain. This critical component ensures a synchronized operation. When your engine timing is off, turn to Gattari's Automotive Sales & Service for a top-notch timing chain repair.

Difference Between Timing Belt and Timing Chain

Timing Belt

Timing belts are typically made of rubber, and they connect the crankshaft to the camshaft to control valve timing. Timing belts typically need replacement every 5 to 7 years.

Timing Chain

Instead of being made of rubber, the timing chain is made of metal. It performs the same function as a timing belt but generally lasts longer. Timing chains can still wear out and may eventually require replacement.

Our experienced technicians can replace your timing belt according to manufacturer specifications. We use high-quality parts and ensure proper installation as it is necessary for a properly functioning engine.

When Should You Replace the Timing Chain

Unlike a timing belt, a timing chain usually doesn't have a set replacement interval. It's designed to last a long time, often 100,000–200,000+ miles, but it can wear out sooner depending on the vehicle, engine, oil maintenance, and driving conditions.

Signs your timing chain may need replacement:

  • Rattling or clattering noise, especially when starting the engine
  • Check Engine Light or timing-related trouble codes
  • Engine misfires or runs rough
  • Poor acceleration or loss of power
  • Difficulty starting or the engine won't start
  • Metal shavings in the engine oil
  • Low oil pressure or signs of poor lubrication
