In the Ford Taurus cars timing chain plays the role of shafts synchronization specifically the crankshaft and the camshaft to enhance the right valve timing deemed suitable for the car. Located at the front side of the engine, the Timing Chain works in a protected area and calls for lubrication, it is used mainly on higher capacity engines. Nowadays, the Metal Timing Chains is preferred over the establishment of rubber Timing Belt since the early 90s of Ford Taurus production. Despite being a very durable part, Timing Chains experience problems arising from lack of lubrication or problems with the tensioner and chain guides, the signs being a rattling sound coming from the engine. According to pushrod engine configurations a short chain drive is normally used to reduce the noise and wear this is why the Ford Taurus would opt for it.
