Once upon a time in a place called mullet land cams were driven by chains. The motor in your car was designed by mullet engineers, so they used a chain thinking, "hey, it's made out of steal, it's got to be stronger than a rubber belt" They were wrong, not everyone can be as smart as the Honda engineers, if they were, Honda wouldn't build such far superior vehicles.............

The real kick in the balls is that auto mfrs are going back to chains! They've figured out how to keep the chains quiet and are moving back to get longer life out of them.
