Wait.... Who said you have to replace the timing chain at 125k?
This is the first I hear of this.
I have a timing chain on my matrix and i don't know if its the chain or just the cabin but that little 4 cyl engine is much louder than my GS (pre headers )

Didn't realize this was a touchy topic It is good to know that the belts are kevlar reinforced.
