They told me that the new Ford K, in Argentina comes out with a distribution chain, or time as it is called in other countries.
I want to raise this issue, I personally do not share the use of the belt that replaced the chain. I would like someone with knowledge of the subject to explain what are the advantages of the belt over the chain, and the belt should change periodically while the chain and its gears are only changed when a general engine repair is made.
In my case, I had to work in an oil camp, where the trucks were walking all the time in the cross -country, the distribution cover, which was plastic, not being airtight, allowed the finest dust to enter, it locked the tensioner bearing of the belt, stuck and cut the belt into a mileage much smaller than recommended by the manufacturer, let's say one third of the milestone. So: What is the advantage of the belt?
