Subject: Timing chain expected life


Sooooo.......just exactly what is the average expected lifespan of a timing chain for the venerable 2.0 liter 16 valve engine? I have read some horror stories here about them failing at 90,000 miles or less. My '87 9000T has 140,000 miles on it and the chain seems OK, altho I've never checked the wear. It DOES make a small ratlle at idle, engine hot and oil press low. Should I change it on spec?
