About the timing chain replacement
Timing chains are designed to last the engine's life but can stretch or fail on certain engines, producing rattles and possible internal damage.This is one of the most labor-intensive jobs a shop performs, often requiring engine removal on some layouts. Guides, tensioners and occasionally sprockets are replaced together.
