Hi,

Replacing the timing chain on this vehicle is much easier than most. It's hard to believe it is bad at 60,000 miles. Usually, a timing chain will last the life of the vehicle.

The procedure for replacement is listed below. Take your time when doing this. It is very important to confirm the all timing marks are correctly positioned.

Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
