Manufacturers have set time intervals depending on the make and model of the car where they recommend when the Cambelt needs is to be changed.

Timing Chains are by far simpler than a Cambelt, however, they do share some similarities. They are the same in the way they operate and in the way they stretch. Because Chains are made of metal, they are not susceptible to dust, water or oil meaning they last longer. However, because they still stretch, they do have a lifespan.

On older cars it was rare to find a Cambelt cover to protect the belt from outside contaminants such as dust, water, and oil. Over time if dust settled on the belt or water/oil dripped onto it, it would cause the belt to age faster and evidently break sooner. For this reason, Cambelts now have a cover to protect them. However, this cover does not prevent the belt from stretching over time which could also cause the belt to break.

Chains do not have a set replacement interval like the Cambelt as they can also wear down depending on how the car gets driven. The harder you drive your car, the quicker your timing chain will start to fail. However, unlike the Cambelt, Timing Chains normally warn you in advance when they are about to break. They give off a rattling sound that can be heard when you start your car in the morning. And as the chain continues to stretch it can even be heard as you drive.

If Either break while your engine is turning it will cause the Valves and Pistons to collide with each other. More than 100 times per minute. This type of damage can only be repaired with either an engine overhaul or an engine replacement. These costs can add up fairly quickly and could easily cost more than what the car is worth.
