Had a dream last night that I was starting my car and the timing chain broke accompanied by a long staccato crunching sound. AARRRAGH! Awake with the cold sweat and dread that nightmares bring, I am wondering if everyone reading this wouldn't mind posting the mileage (if applicable) of what and when any timing chain events occurred. Feel free to include failures, rattling instances, preventative changes or any other info that might give me some insight on when this thing is going to go. Mine seems rather quiet and I've been running fresh Mobil 1 on a regular basis but I am really paranoid about this thing going without warning.
Thanks for understanding
