Pro Chain – Timing Chain Conversion Solutions
Pro Chain develops timing chain conversion solutions as an alternative to belt-driven timing systems.
Our conversion kits are designed to address known limitations of wet timing belt systems by replacing them with a mechanically robust, chain-driven configuration. The result is a long-term solution focused on durability, reliability and consistent engine timing performance.
Pro Chain products are developed with the complete powertrain system in mind, providing a technically sound upgrade path for engines where timing system reliability is critical.
Why Chain Conversion?
Reliable and Long-Lasting
Replacing the original wet timing belt with a chain makes the engine more reliable. Timing belts in some engines wear faster than expected, requiring frequent replacements, often at intervals shorter than the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. Installing a chain reduces maintenance needs and ensures consistent, long-term engine performance.
Cost Savings and Protection
A chain conversion helps prevent expensive engine damage caused by belt failure. Broken belts or missing teeth can lead to valve damage or even complete engine failure, which is often far more costly than installing a chain in the first place.
By switching to a chain-driven system, you save on repeated belt replacements and avoid unexpected engine repairs.
Environmental Benefits
Using a single, durable timing chain instead of repeatedly replacing belts is better for the environment. Fewer replacement parts, less waste, and less frequent service mean a smaller ecological footprint over the vehicle’s lifetime.
Restoring Vehicle Value
Because issues with wet timing belts have become widely known, affected cars often lose significant resale value. This can make it difficult for owners to sell or trade in their vehicles. A timing chain conversion helps restore reliability and confidence, potentially improving the vehicle’s market value.
A Smart Choice for Garages and Workshops
Some workshops may see wet timing belts as a recurring revenue source, since each vehicle requires repeated belt replacements and possible engine repairs. However, this approach is short-sighted: repeated belt issues can make vehicles economically unviable over time.
A chain conversion ensures the car lasts longer and maintains value, which also benefits garages in the long term through ongoing maintenance, brake and tire services, inspections, and other routine work—even if the timing belt no longer needs constant attention.
