[QUOTE="maxkpp, post: 294888, member: 7204"] The M42 uses a timing chain same as the M10 engine. This is considered superior than the timing belt in M40. The baby six M20 also uses timing belt. But the godfather M30 uses timing chain. With timing chain ... you do not have to worry about changing the timing chain. Timing belt have to be changed about every 100,000 km, that is 2 years for me. I am considering upgrading my M10 engine to M42 for my classic NK2000.... maybe next year. Prefer from a halfcut with an automatic gearbox...so that I can use it as my daily drive. [/QUOTE]
