Well timing belts and chains come out to about the same cost over time. A belt is done more frequently, but the cost is 1/5-1/2 the chain replacement. Chains typically last about the same amount of time as a comparable number of belt changes cost.
if that makes sense.
My friends have driven imports for years with timing chains and have went over 200K and have never replaces a chain. Two have replace the nylon idler. but whatever, we are still happy with our AVEO and will replace belts as needed.
Have a great day
