Is there difference between timing chain and timing belt?

I have timing chain on my Honda Accord 2001. Got about 9,000 and some hundred miles. How long can I expect this timing chain will last?



I know that timing belts last anywhere from 60,000 to 150,000 with luck.Is there difference between timing chain and timing belt?timing belts are usually rubber where chains are metal and should last longer.Is there difference between timing chain and timing belt?It is the same thing, just a different type. Usually replace them at around 80,000 miles, at least that is what I did. It is an expensive replace, but do it before it breaks or you might regret itIs there difference between timing chain and timing belt?yes ther is a difference the chain one is a chain just like the ones used on bicycles and the belt its just rubber like a alternator belt. timing chains shouldnt have to be replaced. it you dog your engine alot and for years then chain could actually streach or break but i wouldn worry about that, it will last for as long as the engine last.Is there difference between timing chain and timing belt?chains do the same job as belts but belts are now!! lasting longer than chains. the high speed of modern engines is also more suited for belts and the modern material in belts (only use manufactures recommendations) are very long lasting. the cost of converting form chain to belt may not be cost efficient though. only you can decide how long you want to keep the vehicle and if the work is worthwhile. it Will also affect a resale price and not necessarily for the better? you will also have to inform your insurance company as you will have modified the car (unlikely to be an increase in fee)Is there difference between timing chain and timing belt?Many cars with t chains go well over 150k without changing. Chains are not considered maintenance items. T Belts on the other hand should be changed every 60-90k and ARE considered a maintenance item.Is there difference between timing chain and timing belt?Timing belts tend to go around the 65 - 75,000 mark, so a routine change should be on your maintenance program. Timing chains are far more superior as the chain does not tend to give unless through sheer hardship. The chain tensioner is usually first to go but you will more than likely hear this as it begins to wear.Is there difference between timing chain and timing belt?your honda has a belt and 90,000 miles is a great time to replace it. i wouldn't push it much longer than that.Is there difference between timing chain and timing belt?they work the same way, but a belt, you have to maintain them and a chain last longer then a belt. belt is made out of rubber and will crack and a chain is metal, just like whats on a bicycle.
