Well, honey, you should change that timing chain when it starts making a racket louder than your neighbor's yappy dog. But seriously, if you want to avoid a catastrophic engine failure, it's best to replace it every 100,000 miles or so. Don't wait until it snaps like a cheap rubber band – that's just asking for trouble.
