Timing belt vs timing chain

Any reason one is better than the other?

a chain is generally more reliable as they're strong, but they can snap. the truth is on a well-maintained car you should never have a problem with either.

chains need oil, and they always chuck up and deposit it at the top of the chain cover. belts don't need oil.

I had a bad experience with belts in a 94 Probe so I say whoohoo to the chain in my 96 riviera. Belts do wrip but for a chain its very unlikely. However its more problematic to replace.

Not this again... this was covered... way to indepth, not even a month ago.

Yeah, do a search for a thread called something like "interference vs. non-interference motors." All covered in detail.

O my bad, im not use to searching because the forums i go to take it off to save A TON of bandwidth/money
