I was just wondering if any body has ever heard of streching the timing chain? Its only about 9 mo. old but the car has been driven hard.

Over time, timing chains will stretch, but I doubt that it has stretched very much over 9 months.

Very much agree...When I did my h/c/i, I replaced mine and it was streched, but it was like 9 years old.
