Since 1998, every Toyota Corolla, including the 2001 model, has been equipped with a timing chain. While both timing chains and belts have their pros and cons, many agree that timing chains are generally better, as long as they don't break down. Timing chains are expected to last around 250,000 miles under normal conditions, often outlasting the engine itself. On the other hand, timing belts need to be replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 miles due to regular wear and tear. While belts are cheaper to replace, a timing chain swap could cost up to $3,000. However, as long as your timing chain remains intact, you'll likely save money in the long term.
