Factory BMW timing chains can hold up to just about anything and often last the entire life of a standard vehicle without needing replacement. However, when building an engine for performance use; the best is always taken into consideration, especially when the cost is very close to OE.
These German-made chains are manufactured to a higher tensile strength by the OEM for greater timing accuracy and longevity.
VAC Tech Tips: A fresh timing chain is recommended on performance rebuilds. When they are available for a specific engine, these are the same chains we use in our VAC builds.
