ExiledInIllinois Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Do they still make engines with timing chains?? I thought that was done away with in the 1980's Usually in trucks... My 2006 Jeep still has the old cast iron, I-6. I thought Found On Road Dead usually use plastic belts... On "interference" engines, you risk major engine damage if one of those cheapos goes out on the road. I think most belts have a metal core. ??

stuckincincy Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Do they still make engines with timing chains?? I thought that was done away with in the 1980's Plenty. There is a turn away from belt-driven overhead cams. GM's eco-4, Hyundai's 2009 I-4 for example. Honda was the last to produce "interference" engines - I think they stopped that, along with the reverse crank rotation but a few years ago. GM still has pushrod V-6s, and V-8s. Which is smart...3, 4 inch less width to fit into the engine compartment. OHC, DOHC are not the be-all and end-all...these GM motors provide fine power. Pushrod motors are far from dead. Variable valve timing has been implemented on such, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honda Passport was a "rebadged" Rodeo... Kinda wierd though with the Honda thing, since Isuzu is 40% GM owned and considered to be the "GMC line" for the Japaense. No?

The Isuzu - GM alliance is based on industrial truck and agricultural implements, in the main. Small GM trucks and suv's have worn the Isuzu badge for several years - more or less a GM concession to keep the Isuzu name in the US passenger car market. That's over now - Isuzu leaves soon. The last pure Isuzu available in the States IIRCe was the the 2-door Impulse sporty car. Its' RWD chassis and engine were adequate but mundane, but it was stunningly styled. IIRC, the styling was performed by one of the Italian studios - Pininfarina, Bertone, Ghia...I forget which. The Italian style houses are legendary. For in-house styling, GM is the world leader...Ford, Chrysler, the Germans, the Japs...not close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffaloed in Pa Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I`d say it has . My old exploder had 2. The chain going bad was a recall at one time. Mine went bad . It had alot of miles on it ,so I just ran it. My son eventually killed the exploder by flipping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
