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.



I had to get guides and tensioners on mine last year (2005). It had about 105K miles on it at the time.
