I'm looking at buying a late L322 5.0 SC but I'm wondering how worried should I be about the timing chain issues. I'm looking for higher mileage ones around 100k-ish and most haven't had the chains/tensioners replaced yet.

I'm planning to go look at one tomorrow, as long as it's not making any noises should I be ok?

Can anyone who has had theirs replaced let me know what mileage their car was at when the issue happened?

That's the million dollar question... if you don't notice it failing it will take out the entire engine...!!!

It's your choice, I decided to get one that had been done....

This might help...
