A chain SHOULD last the life of the motor if cared for properly.

Yup. Once the chain snaps, that is the end of the motor's life. :giggle:

hey a fellow m42 owner i have a quick question, as far as the timing chain goes on this engine should i worry about it as much as the m20 t-belt? i'd go on m42club but they dont seem very active.

The timing chain should last a LONG time. How many miles are on your car? A belt and a chain are different. A belt will last around 80,000 miles give or take. A chain SHOULD last the life of the motor if cared for properly. I'd get it checked out just in case.

You should come to the meet in Framingham, MA on the 28th.

nope it has the m42 engine and a LSD if im not mistaken.

and RedHoodRidah what do you know about the timing chain on this car? i might have to replace mine or re install it since i think the PO did it wrong

im pretty sure the car on craigslist for like 500 had a blown head or something. its not that one

Providence area huh? Finally another member that I can hang out with and not have to drive 45min to lol.

Bueno tambien ustedes van a tener que ponerme en la lista de los e30ers que hablan español.

Did you pick up the 4-door that was on craigslist for a very very very good price?
