You’ll learn from timing drive expert Roger Gillette, Technical Services Group Leader for Schaeffler. Roger is an ASE-certified technician and a former retail store leader with more than 20 years of industry experience.

You’ll learn about:

  • Common reasons of timing component failures
  • Progression of going from belt drive to chain drive – the pros and cons of each timing system
  • Chain types commonly used, pitches, and influencing factors on wear patterns
  • Why proper maintenance matters
