A timing chain (or belt in some cases) is essential for the proper function of your vehicle’s engine as it keeps the engine’s mechanical components synchronized and operating together. A lack of oil changes, inproper lubrication, constant high load on the engine and harsh driving climates can cause the engine’s timing chain to stretch as it did on this Ford F-150 and can lead to misfires, loud slapping/chattering noises coming from the engine and decreased performance.
Whether it’s preventative maintenance or a timing chain replacement, A.C. Automotive has you covered!
