MB-20 Granite Polishing Kit

A timing belt is usually made of rubber, sort of like a thick rubber band. On the other hand, a timing chain is more like a metal necklace made up of interlocking links. While a timing belt might be quieter, a timing chain is more robust and durable.

The timing belt or chain is found inside the engine. They connect the crankshaft (which turns the wheels) and the camshaft (which opens and closes the engine's valves). This connection is super important because it helps the engine's parts move at the right time.

Timing chains can be a bit noisier due to the metal parts rubbing against each other. Timing belts, being made of rubber, are usually quieter. Some people prefer a quieter engine, while others don't mind a bit of noise.

Here's a big difference: timing belts need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. They can wear out or even break over time. Timing chains, however, can last much longer, even the car's entire life in many cases. This means less worrying about getting the timing chain replaced.

4. COUNTER TOPS: Target an area approximately 4 sq. ft. On the targeted surface, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of productin a circular pattern slightly smaller than the polishing pad you are using. Spray some water on the powder and overthe rest of the targeted area. Set the speed of the right-angle grinder/polisher (variable speed is a MUST) to the slowestspeed. Using a hog’s hair pad, move the machine over the targeted area slowly, applying steady pressure. Check thesurface for results after approximately 2 minutes. If you have a high polish, semi-flush the section and pull the slurrydown to next section and repeat.

When you open the hood of a car, you might notice some important parts that help the engine run smoothly. A critical part is the timing belt or timing chain. They play a crucial role in ensuring the engine's moving parts work harmoniously. Let's explore the differences between a timing belt and a timing chain so you can better understand how they work.

A timing chain is generally considered better for high-performance engines. It can handle the increased stress and heat that comes with fast driving. However, many regular cars use timing belts, and they work well for everyday driving.

3. FLOORS: Target an area of approximately 10 sq. ft. In the middle of the target area, sprinkle approximately 2 oz. of product in a circular pattern slightly smaller than the diameter of the floor machine. Using a hog’s hair pad, position the floor machine with water on top of the powder. The machine cannot exceed 175 RPM for best results and needs at least 1.5 HP. Release 5 seconds of water and swiftly swing the machine back and forth over the targeted area to evenly spread the slurry. (Note: keep the slurry thick; not too wet) Polish slowly with a spiral motion moving from one end of the targeted area to the other and back. Continue polishing for 3-4 minutes. Then check the surface with a squeegee. You should have a high polish at this point. Next release just enough fresh water onto your target area to make vacuuming the used slurry easy. Then clean with a neutral cleaner such as MB-1 Floor Cleaner or MB-15 Stoneglow. Now repeat this process on next section.

Changing a timing belt can be expensive because it's labor-intensive. It requires taking apart some of the engines. On the other hand, a timing chain replacement is often cheaper, partly because it doesn't need to be changed as frequently.

Both timing belts and timing chains have essential jobs in a car's engine. Timing belts are like reliable workers but need more attention and replacement. On the other hand, timing chains are tough and long lasting, but they might make a bit more noise. When choosing between the two, it often depends on the car's design and your driving habits. So, next time you're driving, you'll know more about what's happening under the hood!
