Hello. My timing chain is a mere 1MM from being out of spec, it's at 14mm.
The car is a 1999 with 115K miles. It's in good condition but it will eventually need things - blower motor, water pump, shocks, etc.
Replacing the timing chain is a job I do not feel like tackling myself, and would like cost what $ 1200 to 4 $ 1500.
The question is have is does anyone have any projections how long this chain might last ? My hope is for 10k more miles.
I pulled the valve cover last weekend and it's still pretty clean, and at 80K miles I had pulled the valve cover to tighten the head bolts, at that time I checked the timing chain by grasping between the cam sprockets and it had very little play. 35K miles later a good deal of play and a rattle at start up.
So all you car MDs - how long do I have on this engine ?
thanks
