What is the difference between a timing belt and a timing chain?

A timing belt are typically of rubber or neoprene and not exposed to the engine bay (covered by plates). The timing belt is a wear item and when it fails can cause serious mechanical damage to the engines internals. A timing belt drives the camshaft and valves. In contrast a timing chain is metal, which is much stronger and are typically last for the lifetime of a vehicle. The timing chain design means that customers do not have to consider them as a standard replacement or maintenance cost. That being said given enough operating hours on an engine timing chains will stretch. However, this could be in a span of a 100-200,000 miles whereas the timing belt will have needed multiple (and costly) replacements by then.
