If you replace the timing chain, do it with OEM parts only. The timing belt or chain is one of those things that if it breaks, it will grenade your engine. It's also a doable job, but a lot of hours of work. The last thing you want to do is spend a day to day and a half wrenching and blow up your engine because you used a 70$ kit instead of a 200$ kit.
