technically, its a timing belt, not a chain. Blaufergnugen has a good kit that everyone seems to like. I used it in mine and have no complaints.

The $600 is for the tensioner, the chain shouldn't ever need replacement. Did you break it somehow? Remember you have to count 16 links between the timing marks when you install it.

Did they switch to chains in 98 and not tell me?
EDIT: Just looked at my service manual, I get it now. Sorry

No silly pants, all the 1.8, 2.8, 2.7, and 4.2L engines have the same cam tensioner chain design, you're thinking of the timing belt, the chains under the valve cover connecting both cams with a tensioner. Thats how it adjusts valve timing.
