Is the Boyue equipped with a timing belt or chain?
1 Answers
Boyue uses a timing chain. The differences between a timing chain and a timing belt are as follows: Different materials: Ordinary timing belts are made of rubber and are prone to breakage; timing chains are more durable and less likely to break. Different noise levels: Because rubber products are soft and elastic, their connection with the camshaft and crankshaft is not rigid, so they offer better noise control compared to timing chains. Different replacement cycles: Timing belts have a shorter lifespan and generally need to be replaced every 3-4 years or around 60,000-80,000 kilometers, requiring timely replacement. The "tensioner" of a timing chain has a wear lifespan of only 80,000-100,000 kilometers and also needs to be replaced when the time comes.
