Timing Chain in 93 LT1
I have a 1993 Camaro Z28 with 99.5k miles. I was wondering, should I be worried about my timing chain. I've read of them breaking, and know that it's very hard to distinguish from any other problem. I don't want to be cranking my engine when it breaks. The question is, how long do these last, and what are some symptoms if it does, to help distinguish it from other problems to cause the least harm to my engine? Thanks. BTW, it runs and idles just fine, runs great, just being cautious is all.

If your car is still running fine then there is no need to worry about it. As stated above I have yet to hear of someone breaking a stock chain on a stock application. I was using a stock chain when my car was pushing over 500 rwhp. Since then I have upgraded to a Cloyes Double Roller chain.

The stock chains are pretty tough unless you got a faulty one. Not often you hear of guys busting them. Unless your going into the cover for something already, like a cam change, I would just leave it alone.
