Question for those who have replaced timing chain
#32
That is the phasers. Phaser rattle will also stretch the chain faster than normal. When doing a timing set it's advisable to do the phasers as well.

If you're lucky it will only jump a tooth or two and likely cause throw a code without bending any valves. (But I'm not convinced that with VVT, jumping just one tooth will always immediately throw a code, as the closed loop could sufficienly compensate.)
If you're unlucky, a guide will break, the chain will break, the valves will bend, and the crackcase will be full of shards from the guide.

I have a 2.2 with 213k on the odometer. Original timing chain. Is this engine hard on timing chains. A little history here, car was purchased with 155,000 miles on it in 2014. Its a 2011. So 1000 miles a week for the first 3 years of its life. Obviously highway miles. I may just have this done or is it a fairly easy job? I can wrench for sure. I change oil by miles, not by the reminder. 4000 and its new oil time. I've replace the VVT actuators, easy job. thanks

Rattling on cold start, codes or, pop the valve cover off and use the MKII organic light sensors on the chain; ANY slack or missing plastic on the top chain guide is bad .
Not a horrible job with patience and time.
