Mine had 164K miles on it when I bought it from the original owner, it had set P0016 light at 96K miles. Poor oil change maintenance, anywhere from 20K miles on up to around 30K based on CarFax and Toyota online records.
So I can understand the chain wearing prematurely based on bad maintenance, but I've seen pics of '05 engines with much more sludge accumulation during head gasket projects and the #1 chain tensioner was right on the money...no significant chain elongation. Something must have changed on the 2007 and early 2008 chains.
