Default Re: Timing Chains, Replacement period

I've never had a timing chain issue on a Benz engine. Never!
My deisel is at 300K and my Gas 420 is at 140K. A previous 420 was at 180K when i sold it two years ago. It is still running and the current owner has had no issues.
Except for the mods onehundred80 spoke of, I would suggest that proper maintanance and frequent oil changes will suffice.
