Nissan still uses a chain drive for some of its overhead cam petrol and diesel vehicles. The Nissan Sunny used a chain driven double overhead cam and would still be serviceable after 200,000 miles. Why chain drive isnt universally used is a mystery. Ive ever known a chain drive on a single or even double overhead cam to break even when the chain is stretched beyong serviceability
