They say chains last the lifetime of the car, I seriously doubt it. While the chain itself may not break, the tensioners and guides wear down, and a chain just sounds bad imo.
My previous chain motors were a Toyota 2.4, and a Subaru 3.0
Both had horrible chain sounds. I opened up the Subaru and saw how the plastic guides wear down and need to be replaced, so what's the point ?, bad design imo
oh and the subie timing cover was metal and held in place by like 50 screws. No gasket either, needed to be sliconed in place. I hate Subarus
Love the silence of a belt.
