Can the belt of the Dolphin be replaced with a chain?

[SanSilas]

The belt of the Dolphin cannot be replaced with a chain. Reasons: Chains are mainly divided into two types: sleeve roller chains and toothed chains. Among them, roller chains are affected by their inherent structure, resulting in relatively more noticeable rotation noise compared to timing belts. The transmission resistance and inertia are also correspondingly greater. The tension of the belt is achieved through an automatic tensioner wheel, while the chain relies on a special, wear-resistant tensioning mechanism for automatic tensioning. If you want to replace the timing belt with a timing chain, the automatic tensioning mechanism must also be replaced, which incurs higher costs. Function: Both timing belts and timing chains are power transmission devices in cars. The power generated by the engine needs to be transmitted through them to drive the car forward. Replacement Notes: Over time, belts may age or break. Generally, belts should be replaced every three years or 50,000 kilometers to ensure driving safety.
