I have a 1993 cutlass ciera s with the 3.3 L engine. It has 148000 Kilometres and I was wondering at what interval the timing chain should be changed

This is goin gto sound stupid when it starts to give you troulbe like hard starting, making noise. Or if it jumps an dyur car gets low on power.

There really is no mileage reccomendatin on this. I worked GM engineering for many years and even then it was only replaced if it was needed, like making noise or failed etc.
