Timing is everything for your Nissan Altima motor. Your Nissan Altima timing chain and/or timing belt in your engine are so vital to the operation of your entire vehicle. The other auto parts, such as valves, on your engine don’t open and close, you see, without a properly installed and adjusted timing chain or timing belt at the appropriate times. Resulting in poor running, valve clatter, and loss of power is a sloppy Nissan Altima timing chain, while a broken timing belt can cause your engine to stop running or, on an interference application, cause a crash of valves into your pistons. If that sounds expensive to you, regardless of the mechanical jargon, you’re right.
If so much damage can be caused by a broken Nissan Altima timing belt, why doesn’t everyone use a timing chain? For all it's strength advantages, a timing chain is noisier, less efficient, and more expensive than a timing belt and other auto parts.
So common these days, these Nissan Altima timing belt/timing chain comparisons are particularly relevant on the overhead cam engines. Since an OHC timing chain would be so long, results are a better camshaft timing through an improved efficiency in the a timing belt actually having less lash and stretch.
