    What do you think of the Vaico timing chain manufacturer? Any bad experiences? Which timing chain kit manufacturers did you install when you changed the chains?
    Many thanks 😉

    I am not sure about timing chains, but I was told and I read that Vaico branded PCV’s were horrible so I’m skeptical on Vaico. Given timing chains are more serious than PCV’s, the quality of that part may be better or worse than PCV’s.

    I agree with this in every respect. I had a crap vaico PCV so I can vouch for their horridness ( died after a week )
    Chains and tensioners are one area i dont mess with. Others probably have had great luck but anything inside the engine is oe for me
