Timing chains usually do not need to be changed until an engine needs to be overhauled. You may need to change it if it makes a weird noise, other than that you should be fine.

How do you replace timing chain and gears on a 1989 Taurus?

How do you know when the timing belt needs to be changed on a 2000 1.4 petrol opel astra?
You will have no symptoms that it needs to be changed. Also looking at it will not tell you whether it needs to be changed or not as it may look good and be ready to break. For this reason timing belts are required to be changed at a set mileage or years interval. Referred to your owners manual as to the maintenance schedule on the timing belt. It varies with manufacturer from 60,000 miles 110,000 miles.
How can you tell if your Nissan altima timing chain is broken?
One way to tell if the timing chain is broken on your Nissan Altima is to see if it will start. If it starts, it is not the timing chain. You can also remove the distributor cap, have someone step on the gas while you watch the engine. If the rotor moves, it is not the timing chain.

How do you tighten timing chain?
You did not list Make, Model, Year, or Engine Size. So all I can tell you is that the vast majority of vehicles with a timing chain have a self tensioner that keeps the tension tight. If the chain it loose or noisy then it is more than likely worn out or the tensioner needs replacing or both.

How do you tell if your timing belt needs to be changed?
You cannot tell by looking at it. For this reason it must be changed at a set time period of miles or years. Without knowing the make, model, engine, & year I cannot tell you when it should be changed. Warning: If the engine is an interference engine and the belt breaks you will have internal engine damage.
