Timing Chain Replacement
Replacing the timing chain before its stretch damages the engine — with genuine or proven aftermarket parts.
Timing Chain Replacement at Twin Torque Service
A stretched timing chain is one of the most dangerous things to ignore — if it jumps, it can destroy the valves and pistons. We start by measuring the stretch and assessing the tensioner to decide whether the kit is still fit for service.
What the service covers
- chain stretch and correlation-fault diagnostics
- chain, tensioner and guide replacement
- gasket replacement and sprocket inspection
- setting the timing to the manufacturer's specification
When to visit the workshop
Don't wait if you hear a metallic rattle on a cold start, a check-engine light appears or the engine runs unevenly. Replacing the chain early is far cheaper than repairing a jumped-chain engine.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know the timing chain is worn?
A distinctive metallic rattle on a cold start, crankshaft/camshaft correlation faults and a check-engine light. Don't delay a visit with these symptoms.
Does a timing chain need replacing like a belt?
A chain lasts longer than a belt but still wears. We measure its stretch and check the tensioner, replacing it once it exceeds the allowed limits.
What do you replace along with the chain?
The full kit: chain, tensioner, guides and gaskets, and the sprockets if needed. Priced after diagnostics.
