Camchain timing values
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2026 1:38 am
Last time I had it checked, camchain timing values were 5.0, 0.0. -4.0, 0.0, indicating a fair bit of stretch. It's on 119,000 miles and when checked was around 112,000.
Assuming these should all be 0.0, is engine failure imminent or should I be alright to keep driving it for another year or so before getting the engine out?
It drives fine and I've had it serviced regularly and done 15,000 miles in just over a year, so drives alright apart from a bit of excessive lag.
I just wondered what values those decide to get the chains done immediately at.
If I'm pushing it I may take it off the road for a while to save up for major engine-out work and get a cheap runaround.
