No No, I was referencing DMZ post - not really sure if it was in reference to the issue at hand and how it would apply to the original issue....as he quoted my message....

It is the same with motorcycle chains. There is a common myth that they stretch with age. If you measure one new and after 50K miles, the length is the same. The sprockets get worn and oval out, hence the need to adjust or tighten it periodically. Sorry about the confusion. I am inclined to believe that a maintained Yaris should be able to go 400k without having a timing chain issue. |

Really,, ok maybe stretch is perhaps too lay - the pins and bushes elongate causing poor mesh with the sprocket - resulting in premature wearing of the sprocket teeth,, culprit chain.... overheat it by lack of lubrication or poor lubrication pins wear chain gets longer...
Don't have acceptable tolerance specs handy,,, |
