[QUOTE="bal3056, post: 169179, member: 584"] wglee said it correctly, the KE20 just went on and on as with almost all Japanese chain driven engines. Personally chains don't frighten me, but timing belt is a horror. Chains don't snap easily ... it does get loose though due to the tensioner weakening. Chains that snap are most likely caused by bad tensioner and some engines, though most are auto adjustable, have a gap at the front of timing cover where you could actually make manual adjustments ... great engineering as far as I am concerned ... truly lifetime. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
