Hello All,
Any of you guys or girls replaced your timing chains yet? I can't seem to find the interval for replacement of these things in my user manual. I remember when I used to drive my old Honda, I replaced the timing belt at least every 60K miles. My car currently has 75K miles and I'm worried that a broken timing chain can cause me a lot of grief.
Thanks for any feedback.

As I remember chains are not needed to be replaced like timing belts.

Joey is correct :p


Timing chain doesn't need to be changed like timing belt.

BMW E36 3 series also uses timing chains as well and they don't get changed las often as timing belt.
