I had to replace it because I noticed a loud "knashing" sound (very rough) coming from my engine. My indy mechanic diagnosed it to the timing chain. When he tore down the engine, he found that one of the chain guides had broke and this caused the chain to turn wildly inside. The result was a damage to the balance shaft gears - completely worn down, pressure pin was worn and damage to the engine head (?). In any case, a pretty significant bill which was luckily covered under ext warranty. As I indicated, the engine now runs smoother (IMHO) than ever before. You can search for my other posts if you need more details. Good idea to check it out before it becomes a major problem.
Good luck.
