CharlieHorse 0 Posted February 19, 2004 What mileage are timing chains on VR's supposed to be changed? Does anyone know. I've got 128000 on the clock and they seem fine. but i dont want anything nasty to happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted February 19, 2004 There's no prescribed interval. Change 'em when it gets noisy, cos the guides and tensioners wear out before the chains. When the guides and tensioners are gone or on their way you get a nice metallic clattering noise that is most audible at about 1200rpm (for some resonance reason, presumably). They very very rarely break altogether, but they have been known to slip a tooth on occasions when the tensioners have gone. If the sound is anything to go by (it is) my tensioners are pretty knacked at 116k miles.. I'm saving up to get it done.... :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
