dr_mat 0 Posted January 26, 2005 No denying it - there's a few VRs out there without timing chain problems on high mileage, but it seems to be unusual. (Admitted people don't post up saying "hi my car has done 200k and *doesn't* need cam chains done", but you do hear from a lot of folks having to have it done at that time.) Vince@Stealth seems to say himself that they tend to need doing around the 100k+ sort of age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corradovr6sc 0 Posted January 30, 2005 I'd suggest buying a second-hand vortech kit from the US which costs $2000-2500 (£1000-250) which will be cheaper than the UK price even with the shipping and tax added on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
