If you are close to the time or age of the recomended change interval its not a bad idea to just bring it in and have it done. On our cars if it goes the motor goes.

Sure, his may have looked fine...but I'm not willing to take such a risk. Chains are designed to last the life of the engine if oil/filter changes are performed according to the recommended intervals...

I too laughed for several minutes after reading the beginning of this thread. That reminds me - I gotta call my parents!
FYI - I was at one of my referrers shops last week and he had a nice late model Jaguar with a V8 that had a broken timing chain (yes CHAIN). Sadly, it's was a 32 valve interference motor. Now it's a large 32 valve piece of scrap aluminum and steel...
