Timing Chain used in Buick Century cars act in a way of ensuring that the correct timing between the movement of the crankshaft and that of the camshaft is achieved to allow proper timing of the valves to deliver optimum performance. This metal chain is located at the front of the engine and has to be lubricated; is most common in higher displacement engines. Metal timing chains have taken so much popularity since early 1990s especially because of these features; they do not wear out often and therefore require frequent replacement as the rubber timing belts do. They do not suffer significant wear but can develop problems around the oil and with tensioner and chain guides, which can be signaled by a rattling sound originating from the front of the engine. For pushrod engines a short chain drive is preferable to gear drives for low noise and low wear, it is a good option for use on the Buick Century car's engine.
