Here's why:
* Durability: Timing chains are more durable than belts and are designed to last the lifetime of the engine.
* Reliability: Chains are less prone to wear and tear and are less likely to break than belts.
* Maintenance: Chains don't require regular replacement like belts do, making them less maintenance-intensive.
Important note: While chains are generally more reliable, they can still stretch over time. It's recommended to monitor the chain condition and replace it if necessary.
