A timing belt is a reinforced rubber band with teeth that link the crankshaft to the camshaft, ensuring synchronized rotation. Meanwhile, a timing chain serves a similar function but is made of metal links, providing a more durable solution. Both components are responsible for the timing of the engine's valves, which must be in sync with the movement of the pistons. The rotation of these components is influenced by the engine's operation, and any delay or dissonance can lead to catastrophic engine failure.
