im 99.9999% sure that the timing chain should last for the life of the car..its maintenance free for the life of the car...cars with timing BELTS need those changed maybe every 60,000...but the max has a timing chain so it lasts for the life of the car

No need to change the timing chain, they last forever.

Some people end up just changing/adjusting the tensioner. You don't need a new timing chain just because you're at 107. If it were 307K that might be another matter.

I've heard of tensioners going bad, but not the chain itself. You're still good to go on the chain
