NICHE Cam Timing Chain

The Cam Chain is responsible for engine control and helps achieve an accurate combustion process. The chain synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s) ensuring proper timing and allows the engine’s valves to open and close during each cylinder’s firing. The chain is located inside of the engine and needs to be lubricated by the oil in the engine, making oil maintenance important as well. Every time the engines starts, the timing chain is in use

The crankshaft converts the linear movement of the pistons to a rotary movement, the camshafts control the engines valves.
