I know that Jeep uses a timing chain to drive the cam, but how long do they last...is it good until there's a problem? OR should i pay attention and research the repair history? Is there a standard mileage to go by? I just don't wanna fix up everything and find that i throw a piston into a valve and ruin the damn thing.
Timing Chain...when to replace?

I have never in my life heard of a timing CHAIN stretching. I have always been told that they are fine until they break. I have 207000 on my original and my motor is fine.

70 for the chain and about 300 for the labor or two days of my time. Not worth it. It breaks it breaks.

Nope, I just work slow making sure its right. Unlike most mechanics that I know. A mechanic does not touch my jeep unless I don't have the time which is quite often or it would just be too much work for me to do. Mechanically inclined? Mechanically inclined like a mechanic...no. More mechanically inclined then most the people that post here Yes.
