If the timing chain on your Lincoln LS is worn out then it should be replaced. A worn out timing chain can jump a link, or more, and the engine will ultimately not be able to run. Normally the timing chain will last the life of the engine.

chain
chain ============================================================================= A 1995 Lincoln Town Car , 4.6L V8 engine has ( 1 timing chain to each cylinder head , so there are 2 timing chains )
In a 2008 Lincoln MKZ , the 3.5 liter V6 engine has ( 1 ) timing CHAIN to each cylinder head ( total of two timing CHAINS )
It can get in through the timing cover. That does car does not have a "timing belt" cover, but it has a "timing chain cover." There is a BIG difference, as a timing belt cover does not have coolant and oil running through it, but a timing chain cover does have both coolant and oil running through it.
You don't. The 2001 Lincoln Continental does not have a timing belt it has a chain. The cam is driven by a chain that requires no maintenance.
