[W126 Coupe] Timing Chain Replacement

[Mark Clemence]

Hi Dick:  Mileage is ~ 98,000, guidance on the MB
Coupes website says to replace the chain as a
precautionary measure.  The local MB dealership says
there is no need to replace the chain unless an
inspection detects a problem.  To my knowledge, the
chain has not been inspected.  

I am trying to resolve the two viewpoints and ensure
that my engine does not grenade.  Mark
