When do you know to change the timing chain?
A timing chain runs inside the engine, as it needs to be lubricated by the engine oil. A timing belt typically needs to be replaced between 40,000 and 100,000 miles depending on the vehicle and it’s a few hundred dollar repair. A timing chain doesn’t need to be replaced unless there is a problem with it.

Discussion in ‘ KJ General Discussion ‘ started by trail rated, Aug 21, 2009 . I’m taking apart the 3.7 for the second time in 2 months. Actually, I pulled off the timing chains a few hours ago.. Has anybody here had a head gasket fail so fast?
How often do timing belts need to be changed?
Obviously you’re used to a vehicle with a timing belt, which generally need to be changed at intervals. On the old Chrysler 318/360 from the 70’s through the mid 80’s, the timing chain would wear and cause timing problems every 75k miles or so; this issue was solved in later designs, so while it’s possible for a chain to wear, it’s unlikely.

Why are the timing chains not in the manual?
you don’t see it in the manual because the three chains are usually good for the life of the engine. their is no replacement recomendation. now with that said: keep in mind, timing chain failure (which is rare) is caused by not keeping the oil changed. when oil looses its lubricity the chain stretches.
How long do timing chains last on a Ford Mustang?
The ford mustang 4.6l modular motor has similar timing chains to the v6 liberty. *2 chains around the cams and crank* they typically last 120k miles I’m looking for people who know when the timing chains have started to make rattling noise, or when they actually fell off.
