    its supposed to last the life of the engine. I would maybe consider doing it at 100k though and also the balancer chain as its that one that tends to wear first or rather its chain guide does..

    The two chain kits come in at just over £300 depending on where you shop. Labour of course is extra and can be a few hours worth. While doing this job you will want to do the waterpump as well, be sure to use good oe pump though. It is a fiddle job but if they shear a bolt it will be engine out. Engine out is of ciurse more labout but will enable you to mod the balance shafts and get another 10 - 15hp and make rev better. Cams could be changed to saab aero cams as well for better top end performance.

    I guess you may be looking at about £500 ish for both chain kits and a new waterpump including fitted.
