What's the difference between a timing chain and a timing belt?

Both perform the same function, they are driven by the crankshaft and drive the camshafts which control the valves and, thus, the engine's timing. A timing belt will require replacement much sooner than a timing chain. ... Timing chains last a very long time, generally the life of the vehicle
