A timing chain does not need to be replaced. Sometimes they can go bad and will make noise, or can get a bad link, requiring replacement. Timing BELTS require periodic replacement because they are rubber and wear out over time. Chains are good until they experience mechanical breakdown due to excessive wear.

A timing chain is not a maintenance item that needs replacing at a set time or mileage. You replace it when a major overhaul is done. It will normally last until that is necessary. If you hear it making noise or the engine performs poorly or you can't keep the engine in time, then it may need replacing.
