Timing Belt Vs Timing Chain Vs Timing Gear

[gemican_2000]

Ano nga ba. Ang mitsu diesels naka timing belt, ang nissan naman they boast timing chain while isuzu uses timing gear, can you guys share your thoughts on these. Naputulan na kasi ako ng timing belt sa L300 delivary van ko and ang mahal ng nagastos ko to think puro replacement pa nilagay ko. Tsk tsk.

 

I have an L-300 diesel. It has two belts inside the cover. The timing belt and the balancer belt. Mas manipis nga lang yung balancer belt. Kung sabay mo ito pinapalitan, it is always the balancer belt that gives away. Magbabago takbo at maingay makina. You can still drive it to an auto shop. It happened to me once. Galing talaga ng mitsu; bigyan ka muna warning. Basta palit ka between 60k to 80k kms. para safe. When that happened to me, more than 100k kms na tinakbo nung belt. I learned my lesson.

Not all Isuzu's have timing chains. there are a few Isuzu engines that use a belt.

 

oil spewing out of the cylinder head when opening the oil cap has nothing to do if it is timing chain or timing belt. the only sure way to tell is either to check the manual or open the cylinder head cover or on most japanese cars the timing gear cover.

 

when the timing belt brakes the parts that will most probably break are the valves, valve guide, valve springs and the piston or if the engine was revving really a whole lot of other parts in the cylinder head. what happens when the timing belt break is the valves on one or two of the cylinders will not be close during the compression and the piston will hit it, breaking the valves or itself.

 

replacing the timing belt at 60t or 70t kms is really recommended even if the manual says 100 just to take into account if the engine was driven hard by the previous owner. replacing the tensioner is also recommended with the change in belt. if you use a replacement belt instead of OEM subtract 20kms from the usual interval.

good information from you guys. we have ford lynx and i think it is now approaching 70K kms. we are plannning to change the timing belt this month.

 

thanks a lot. :cool:

Can someone tell me if Mazda E2000 (Power van) uses timing belt or timing chain? I just bought it last week, and I want to do preventive thing before it breaks. I would appreciate your help on this.

Most Mazda cars use Timing Chain.- better ask the dealer or consult the manual. or search this site.

the main advantage of the timing belt butween the timing gear is the smoothness and quieteness.....the timing chain is somewhat a compromise between the 2... most smaller displacement diesel engines use any of the 3 to actuate the engine valves......but on bigger diesel engine the usual configuration is the timing gear, owing to its more robust nature

 

hope this helps

timing chain matagal masira, kahit luma na engine parang bago parin yung chain, nissan uses timing chains on their J engines found in local sentra's, down side lang nito is maingay pag tumagal na ng 5 years yung kotse

 

pero nissans RB and SR engines ata is timing belt...

 

timing belt naman breaks kung abused engine parati, pero normal city driving mga 70-100k kms ang life nya

follow the manual na lang. replace before you reach replacement date. mas mura magpapalit ng timing belt/chain kesa masira mga valves and other parts sa makina mo!

[disk_4_sale2]

tuwing kailan ba dapat palit ng timing belt?

[hsmeilop]

check your manual!

[jopit]

every 165,000 km puwede mo na palitan timing belt mo

[Alex Cabagnot]

every 165,000 km puwede mo na palitan timing belt mo

DAPAT SA IYO PALITAN NA ANG BULOK NA UTAK, TOO DAMAGED :evil: YOU WILL DIE JOPIT
