Timing belts may be overrated to some, but they have their own advantages too. Each has its pros and cons, so it really depends on personal preference and maintenance habits.

Timing chains are overrated. Timing belts are more reliable and cheaper to replace. Plus, they give your engine that satisfying ticking sound. Who needs a quiet engine anyway? Lets bring back the old-school vibes!

Timing chains may be more durable in the long run and require less frequent replacements compared to belts. The ticking sound might be nostalgic, but reliability trumps old-school vibes any day.

Timing belts are overrated! Timing chains are the way to go for durability and longevity. Dont fall for the belt hype, chains are the real MVP when it comes to engine reliability.

Timing belts may be overrated to some, but chains are not without their own issues. Both have their pros and cons, so choose wisely.

Timing belts are way better than timing chains! With belts, you get that satisfying tension and precision that chains just cant match. Plus, the quiet purr of a well-maintained timing belt is music to my ears.

Timing chains offer superior durability and longevity compared to timing belts. Chains may not give you the same tension feel, but they outlast belts any day. Noise is a small price to pay for reliability.

Timing chains are definitely the way to go! Belts are just a ticking time bomb waiting to snap and cause major damage. Chains may be pricier upfront, but the peace of mind is worth it.

Disagree! Belts are reliable if maintained properly and are more cost-effective to replace. Chains can be costly in the long run with repairs.
