I can't find anything in the FSM about service intervals for the timing chain; does it ever need to be adjusted or replaced? At what times? 1987 Montero SWB, 2.6L, 5spd Weber conversion 2-valve head from Engine Machine Service "4G54 FTW!" Re: Timing chain maintenance?

If it does, I'm going to need to do it on my SWB as well. Re: Timing chain maintenance?

At 149K, I'd definitely start looking at the chain, tensioners and guides. 1987 Raider - Roxy 1988 Mighty Max 2.6L Turbo - Pearl 1997 Mountaineer V8 - Freddy 2000 Excursion V10 - Freya Re: Timing chain maintenance?

If it's not something that needs doing right now, I'll add it to next summer's project list. Do the chains for the balancer shafts get replaced at the same time? 1987 Montero SWB, 2.6L, 5spd Weber conversion 2-valve head from Engine Machine Service "4G54 FTW!"
