"I have never seen a timing chain, or sprocket failure in 30+ years. I'll add this, I avoid the AE timing chains with master links. I use the cheaper Rolon timing chain, they have no master links and give no issues. Then there is the IWIS German made timing chains, but I found them to stretch more than the Rolon chains. Not many times does the cheaper part end up being the best quality part, but in this case, it does".
