. . if it's 15mm extended or more, roll in new chain. The flexible rubber chain guide in the top of the valve cover is very inexpensive and should also be replaced. As it hardens at high mileage it becomes an early warning of chain slack (and maybe that's a good thing). 4 hours to roll the chain might be about right. I spent more than that when I did this on my 1999, but I did several other things at the same time, so maybe about that amount on the TC.
Did this about 31K miles and > 2 yrs ago, and engine is going strong; no chain noise.
