Default Timing Chain Question

Ok so does this have to be changed out? I'm changing my water pump and thermostat, and was wondering about the timing chain. Gear heads please chime in. Thank you guys.

Not unless there are issues with them (there are 3 chains).

If you've got strange sounds, or your engine was starved of oil, I'd maybe check into changing them, but under normal circumstances, there is no need, and it is an involved (to say the least) process to change them. Not really a typical DIY job, at all.

I posted in your other thread, so I know what you'll soon be going.

You'll not be needing to do anything with the chains really...unless like Jeff said, if you're having issues with noise. Of which you're not; so save your change.
