Timing Chain Conversion

[Lextreme II]

Have anyone really thought about doing this conversion? As for me, its a pain to do the timing belt every 90K miles. If I have this option, I would do it in a heart beat. I would assume you would need the followings:

* Cam gears
* Pullies
* Crank gear
* Waterpump gear
* Special oil lub from the oil pump
* Timing chain

Do you guys think is it possible or its just a waste of time.

Even if it is possible, I don't think it'd be worth the tradeoff... Lots of money for nothing more than a longer gap between replacing it..

A timing chain is probably going to make it sound obnoxious too.....

All that chain howling along at 8,000 RPM ?

- isn't that how they sawed that sunken Russian Submarine 'The Kursk' in half ?
