Its rare that it has to be replaced, but IIRC there was a recall on the timing chain, or something related to it. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

If you have some chain rattle, the TSB in interesting information, but since the revised tensioners were installed after 95, don't expect it to solve problems for later cars.
