depending on the service level you choose, you are correct in some ways. As well you may be correct for some MYs of 2.3L engines with a balance chain. However, in a 2.0L they tend to last very long with proper oil changes. I replace all my timing components at 300K km and the only noticable wear was the guides. The chain measured almost near to the new one, I kid you not.
if it just started to happen I have a hard time believing it is the chain itself. Aside from the guide flying the coup, if could be those other factors I mentioned, as well as a chain tensioner that is not functioning properly. He did not mention the year of his car, so if it a 1986, his 'old style' tensioner WILL make a racket.
