In a 1998 Chevrolet Prizm, the timing chain is typically designed to last the life of the engine and does not have a specific replacement interval like a timing belt. However, it should be inspected if you notice symptoms such as engine noise, poor performance, or if you are performing other major engine repairs. If the timing chain is worn or damaged, it should be replaced to prevent potential engine damage. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help determine when a replacement is necessary.
The Prizm has a timing CHAIN, not belt. The timing chain does not get replaced on a scheduled interval. It should never need to be replaced. The serpentine belt, however, does need to be replaced. Inspect the belt for cracks and glazing, and replace. It is not a difficult DIY job. It is easiest to do it from under the car, after removing the splash pan.
u dont adjust the timing chain tensioner if there is slop or play in chain, u need to replace the chain . good idea to replace timing gears at same time while engine is pulled apart
