oiling timing chain

MOPAROFFICIAL said
How many 1960's stock iron gear timing chains you see tight after 70,000 miles?right? Did its job. Someone should put a camera inside the cover to show all the splash/spray etc... and to think a motorcycle can run its chain without an oil bath or spray hole.
Lol some of you need to snap out of it.

You compare a motorcycle drive chain to a timing chain? That’s a bad comparison. The MC chain doesn’t need to be accurate, can be maladjusted and still function and is much bigger. There is no reason not to oil a timing chain. Splash lubrication is a poor way to lube anything.
