OEM INFINITI G37 Timing Chains

If it weren’t for the timing chain in your INFINITI G37, your engine wouldn't run right. That's because the timing chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft, allowing the valves to open and close as needed. In that way, it's much like the timing belt found in other vehicles. However, timing chains are made of different materials than timing belts are, which means they're not at all the same.

The Difference Between Timing Chains and Timing Belts

A timing belt is usually made of reinforced rubber, and can last up to 100,000 miles before they need replacing. Once they became available in the marketplace thanks to advances in rubber technology, they quickly became the go-to option due to their lower initial production costs. However, timing chains, which have been around much longer, have become more commonplace lately. That's because they're far more durable since they're made of metal. in fact, the right timing chain can last your car's full lifetime!

How to Spot Timing Chain Problems

It's not always easy to tell when a timing chain is going bad, though, since there aren't many signs. If it starts to degrade or it slips, though, an engine misfire will tell you. However, this may happen without warning. If it goes bad and breaks, however, you'll know. That's because you'll hear a deafening crack, your engine piston and valve will collide, engine parts will get damaged. Next, your engine will lose power and then shut down.
