My stang has 135,000 miles and when I changed the oil pan gasket last month I stuck my finger up and felt the slack on the timing chain. Fairly decent amount of slack, nice to see the factory chain is a double roller, not the scary link chain my chevy had. Not sure if I want to tear into it just to change the chain, though as Chris said, that amount of stretch can effect the timing, and cam timing too (duh)
If I did expose the chain, I would be too tempted to do a cam swap as well. I know everyone says just keep the stocker, but heck MORE POWER is GOOD
