The 2005 Cadillac DeVille comes with a timing chain, which is different from a belt because it doesn't need to be regularly replaced and is meant to last the lifetime of the vehicle. However, there can be exceptions to this rule. Essentially, the timing chain functions similarly to a bicycle chain in that it works in conjunction with other parts to keep the vehicle running smoothly. Just like a bicycle chain powers the bike's movement, the timing chain in a vehicle synchronizes the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets, controlling the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves. If the timing chain becomes loose or breaks, it can lead to significant and costly damage to the engine. A worn timing chain often produces a noticeable slapping noise when starting the engine and may cause the engine to hesitate, stall, or run roughly. Additionally, you might hear a rattling sound from broken pieces landing in the oil drain pan.
