Im no car expert, but I read in another thread here that timing chains while stronger, cause more friction (makes sence with more piceces etc.) and more friction = more loss of energy.
Basically timing chains go on big vechicles with lots of torqe where a belt could possibly break, belts go on small cars like hondas so they can be more efficent, get better milage, and leak less power from the motor.
Makes sense :thumbup:
