Hi,

How intergral is the timing chain to the engine operation, and would you consider this part of the engine mechanism? Also what is the estimated cost to repair a broken timing chain?

Hi there,

The timing chain is very important as it is the direct link between the crank shaft and the cam shaft, the precise timing of there are of the utmost critical, as the engine will not run if the vale timing is wrong, the failure of the chain may cause serious damage to the engine and it would need to be inspected and evaluated first hand to make any estimate of the cost of repairs as valve damage may occur.
