timing belt

Wow does anyone even actually do that?

I know quite a few people with over 100K miles that have never touched the chains or followers.

yeah, after i torn apart my 4V (90K) and 2V (120K) and inspected the chains/guides there never was any wear and everything looked new

so would it be worth putting the 30k chains on and replace the 150+ ones that are on the car?

I'm not getting charged any more for the timing components to be put on so I should go ahead and do it while I have the chance.

just to keep things straight.
the primary timing chains used tobe different from a SOHC to DOHC wth the DOHC's having polished links. well that ended @6 months ago as FoMoCo finally got wise and gave both 2V & 4V 1 part # for the primary chains, 5W7Z-6268-AA and they sell for @$32.00 wholesale
