hey, i have a 95 3.4l camaro with 83k miles and i just did a ton of maitenance work on it. however i dont know much about the timing chain, and i searched the forum to see if i could find any information on it, but i didnt find much. what i want to know is, does this timing chain ever need to be replaced? if so, at about how many miles should i take it into consideration? i know that bad things would happen if it were to break...thanks for the help.

I did mine with the rebuild. They are not too expensive and if you have a high-mileage engine, it's one of those things that you may as well do if you are in there with the front timing cover off anyway. I have never heard of anyone on this board's timing set breaking, but I would hate to be the pioneer on that one.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>Comment

duh... usually chains dont break. its the belts that you really gotta worry about (not our motors) cuz those snap reletivly close to the service interval. after a while, the chain kinda stretches out. its a good idea to change it, but you wont likely have major problems if you dont. then again... like viper said: do you really wanna be the pioneer on that?2000 3.8L Camaro A4 Pewter Y87<br />K&N Filter, SLP Ram Air kit, Eibach Pro Kit, Flowmaster 80 series, Silverstars, NGK plugs and MSD Super Conductor Wires, Electric Water PumpComment

its a dodge what do you expect.. especially the caravans, caravans also have tons of transmission problems, ive know sever diffrent people with them. Their trucks also get terriable gas mileage. Dodges are junk, they always have been in the past and by the way its looking always will be. Ask anyone who owns one.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261</a> Green 1997, 105k, all stock except for Z28 front springs, Air shocks in the rear, home made coolant recovery tank, home made battery hold down.Comment
