The chains and sprockets are much better designed than on that old iron. You also have chain tensioners that are hydraulically controlled to take up any slight wear so that it soesn't allow the slop to agrivate chain and sprocket wear.
It truly is a thing of the past. I have 213,000 miles on mine and no evidence of chain wear. Trust us, you don't need to worry about it. Timing chain problems on this engine are extremely rare.
In 4 year of frequeting this board on a daily basis, i have yet to hear of 1 single person having problems with there timing chain.
That includes me with over 100k
