When should the Timing chain be replaced ?

[Speedy_Gonzales]

How much will the part cost ? Tips on install please

[Mr. Luos]

Timing chain is good for a long time.

The time to change it is if you are doing a cam swap.
I am running the Crane single chain (adj.) on my 402. $180 or something...but may have gone up.

ok, I wasnt sure n our cars. I know they say every 50k, but I think most of the auto makers want you in sooner so its more $$$ for them

[Mr. Luos]

There are tons of stock cars out there with over 100K on the stocker.

I am @80k right now

50-70,000 used to be the old rule of thumb back when Nylon cam gears were used. Those Nylon gears would just eventually give up.

Nowadays I think most new cars use a steel or iron gear set, which technically should last as long as the rest of the engine.

Ya shouldn't need to be changed.

I have $79k on my ride and the dealer said my chain is still good.

[Speed Psychosis]

50,000 is for belts, not chains. chains last a lot longer.
