    Thanks Keet, that's good to know.

    My dad was a bit unsure about the timing chain in this specific engine, that's entirely why I came on here. I guess I was just looking for some reassurance that we had nothing to worry about with the timing chain. My dad was also saying that if the timing chain was all metal that we would probably having nothing to worry about in excess of 300,000 - 400,000 kms.

    The older 3800s did have problems with the timing chains. But the newer ones do not. Anything 96+ should not have this problem. I have not had any problems on any of my newer 3800, nor have I known anyone else to have any problems.

    In my mind, not something to worry about.
