The timing chain, like any other structural element of a car, can break down sooner or later. Most circuits are prone to breakage after the motor has run for about 200 thousand kilometers. The durability of the chain is influenced by many factors, including external ones. These include temperature drops, dust, snow, dirt. Definitely, every motorist wants his timing chain motor to be the most reliable. And there really are some on the market.
1. Nissan SR
Not a bad motor, which was produced on the market from 2001 to 2007. Today, you can still find some "classic" cars from the Japanese brand Nissan with it. The SR family consists mainly of 1.6 and 2 liter engines. Timing chain resource reaches 250 thousand kilometers. At the same time, in the Russian market, a replacement kit (in the event of a breakdown) will cost about 12 thousand rubles.
2. Hyundai-Kia G4KD
A two-liter gasoline engine from Hyundai, which can still be seen on a fairly wide range of cars today. In particular, on Hyundai Sonata and Elantra cars, as well as on KIA Optima and Cerato.

3. Mitsubishi 4B11
A good Mitsubishi engine with a fairly reliable timing chain, capable of serving a little more than 200 thousand km. The cost of replacing a chain in the domestic market will be in the order of 11 thousand rubles.
